Join us for an exciting “Happy Wednesday” night by the Happy Valley Racecourse on 18 March in the year of the Horse, co-hosted by the Hong Kong alumni clubs of Columbia, Cornell and MIT. We have booked the newest venue, The BEAT that overlooks the winning arch, at The Hong Kong Jockey Club. It offers a cyber-chic atmosphere where we can enjoy drinks and delicious finger food along with live music. 

Don’t worry if you are not familiar with horseracing. There will be specialists providing an intro to horseracing, as well as the cutting-edge AI racing analysis system and interactive AI Horse Selection Station. So, bring on your festive moods for some networking, entertainment, and horseracing!
