Testimonial “Generally, Y2B forum was organized well, from the stage of marketing, tickets delivery to the end of the event. I had many happy moments and learnt many lessons from the forum. Thank the Organization Board for bringing this helpful event for young generation. So proud of you! Hope you can make better and better events like this for students to learn and experience!”

“I am a fourth year student, and I study at a university which have never heard any information referring AIESEC. Luckily, in the end of 2012, a staff of Kimber Clark company invited your organization to me and I found you on Facebook. I started to attend activities from AIESEC at that time, such as: cover letter competition, job fair recently and this forum. To be honest, your members and your organization really impress me, all of you are so great. I wish in future AIESEC can expand network to those university which teaching technology, yeah I mean that at University of technology or university of technical education, we rarely have any your information, your survival. All best wish for AIESEC.”
