What You Missed: 4th Secret Sessions, Design Fair Asia, The Singapore Criterium, And More

the fourth secret sessions

Shenanigans continue in a+’s Secret Sessions. Our signature event’s fourth edition was exclusively for men who bonded over sake sharing by Kabuki Works’ Reuben Oh. In the office of ID Integrated, they played pool, ate burgers, and smashed cocktails while networking and making new friends. Following the sake, many stayed on to shoot the breeze and form connections while others sang karaoke.
