Sloan MBA Students in London    Friday, 27 November

A group of Sloan MBA students will be in London November 25 – 29 to participate in London Banking Days, a series of events for students from top MBA schools who are interested in finance, investment banking, venture capital and related careers.  On behalf of the Club, we want to give our warm welcome to the students.  For those in the financial services industry, please join us in the following drinks session.  This is also your opportunity to connect current students and learn the latest on campus.

Date: Friday, Nov 27, 2009
Time: 7:30-10:00pm
Location: Counting House, 50 Cornhill, London, EC3V 3PD. We will gather at the front section by the big windows. 
Transportation: Circle/District line to Monument,  Central/Northern line to Bank, 3-4 mins walk from either stop
Map: http://bit.ly/2Kq9Ny
Contact: Yiting Shen, yshen@sloan.mit.edu, 0789 170 3823
Format: Cash bar, casual dress
RSVP:  https://alum.mit.edu/smarTrans/register-login.vm?eventID=38501&groupID=185

The Counting House was built in 1893 as Prescott's Bank and the foundations rest partly on the North sleeper wall of a 2,000 year old Roman basilica. Today, this magnificent building is a Fuller's Ale & Pie pub, with much of the old charm of the banking hall on display. The island bar forms a centrepiece and a gallery provides an excellent place for people watching.


We understand your banking hours ... but it’s Friday evening after all and we have a beaver family get together!!!

Best regards,
Yiting
