OE Today: Where is the Grass Greener?

Auckland, New Zealand (March 2013) – London. Shanghai. Singapore. Where is the hottest destination for today’s young professionals to work, study or travel?

Presented by Future Dragonz, OE Today: Where is the Grass Greener? is a lively conversation event that explores the ups-and-downs of five high flying Kiwis who have each chased their dreams on an overseas experience (OE). It takes place on Wednesday 27 March in Auckland at The University of Auckland Business School.

“This second instalment in our Slanted series challenges the appeal of traditional OE destinations in light of the rising influence of Asia. We also discuss what attracts young professionals to particular destinations. The event showcases traditional and contemporary overseas experiences through a Chinese and non-Chinese lens,” says spokesperson Kirby Wong.

This unique event will appeal to young professionals considering an overseas experience as well as to anyone curious about life abroad.
