Wharton Club of Japan hosted an exclusive lecture and networking event for Wharton alumni featuring Professor Nicolaj Siggelkow. Professor Siggelkow is, without question, Wharton's premier professor of strategy and currently serves as Vice Dean of Wharton MBA program.
This event brought together alumni who had poured their “points” into taking Professor Siggelkow's class during their time at Wharton, as well as those who unfortunately couldn't enroll due to insufficient virtual budget. The professor shared insights from his latest research and the subsequent networking session featured lively exchanges with the professor, allowing attendees to reconnect with the Wharton atmosphere after years or even decades.
Thanks to the generosity of Umezawa-san of WG10, we held this event in the gallery of Art to Heritage, a startup dealing in art transactions. It was a special space surrounded by contemporary art valued from several million to hundreds of millions of yen! Thank you, Umezawa-san!
