Event Format: Hybrid

Event Summary: This was a truly memorable DL tour. I am deeply grateful to Chapter Chair Lily Qiao and the chapter officers/members (Peter Wishart, Dave F, Yiqing) for their warm hospitality and flawless organization of the talk and visit. They were prompt and clear in communicating all necessary details, making the entire experience seamless. This is a very active section and chapter, and the event drew an excellent turnout thanks to their strong publicity efforts. Ample time was also set aside for networking after the event, which made the visit even more engaging. Lily, the host, was especially meticulous in her preparation. She personally picked me up from the airport, thoughtfully brought food for me, and arranged lunch and dinner with her chapter members. Dave took me a on an impromptu tour of the city and Yiqing personally dropped me back to the airport. Peter came to pick me up for dinner on the first day. I am very grateful to all members for their efforts to make my visit very comfortable. I would highly recommend visiting this chapter to other AESS DLs.
