What are your takeaways from WADE ASIA?
Through interactions with other architects, I got new perspectives and new ideas. By listening to panel discussions, I gained knowledge on 1) How to run our profession powerfully 2) How to fulfill customers’ requirements 3) What are the pitfalls in our profession and how to deal it. It was very important and fulfilling for me. It was an extraordinary opportunity of meeting other professionals, knowing about their views and working styles. It was very worthy to me.
WADE Asia is providing a large and powerful platform for women to grow and develop themselves by sharing and exchanging their ideas with other women professionals and get inspired by their extraordinary work and professionalism.
