BUSINESS INMERSIONS EXPERIENCE

These Business Inmersions Experiences are independent programs offered to the SEP alumni community by fellow SEP classmate Ashley Dudarenok through her company, CHOZAN. They are not part of, organized by, or operated by the SEP Alumni Global Reunion.

SEP Reunion receives no financial benefit from these programs and assumes no responsibility for their organization, operation, services, travel arrangements, or participant experience.

The experiences take place in China, outside Shanghai, and require separate booking and payment directly with CHOZAN.
