Hey guys, we have something unusual and exciting for you:

🔥IE Business School alumnae Victoria Susakova and Isma Husein are organizing a retreat trip to Malaysia for the MBA alumni community. Both Isma and Victoria used to be official IE reps in their respective regions and have great experience in organizing alumni events. Isma is a native Malay who is very passionate about introducing her country’s heritage to the world.

Dates: October 31 – November 4, 2025

🌏This exclusive getaway offers a unique blend of wellness, cultural immersion, and business engagement. The program includes:

- Cultural experiences
- Business component: a masterclass on AI led by an IE professor and meetings with local founders
- Optional yoga sessions and meditations
- Traditional Eastern spa rituals


☀️It’s the perfect opportunity to escape gloomy November in Moscow (or anywhere else!) and truly rest, recharge, and connect with like-minded people. You'll also get to explore one of Southeast Asia’s most captivating countries: Malaysia is a unique mix of Malay, Chinese, Indian, Arab and colonial cultures.

The retreat can easily be combined with visits to Kuala Lumpur, Singapore (1-hour flight), Bali (2-hour flight), or other regions of Malaysia.

The agenda is still being finalized, but key details can be found here:
