Following its successful debut in 2024 with over 600 attendees and +30 speakers from different areas in 3 days, the Overseas Vietnamese Summit (OV Summit) returns in January 2025 with bigger ambitions. Presented by Vietcetera and Overseas Vietnamese (OV), the 3-day event remains dedicated to connecting the global Vietnamese community while fostering cross-cultural collaboration and networking opportunities for both Viet Kieu and expats.
The 2025 summit, themed Crossing Over, introduces exciting new features while expanding on last year's highlights, promising even more immersive experiences and insightful discussions.
What’s New in 2025?
Company Tour But Beyond The Conventional Office
Last year’s tour focused on corporate offices like Techcombank, Masan Group and Vinamilk, offering insight into the work culture in some of Vietnam’s top enterprises. In 2025, participants will embark on a full-day exploration beyond the conventional office space, experiencing Vietnam’s thriving metropolis and cultural diversity firsthand.
This expanded tour aims to open doors to career opportunities and collaborations for overseas Vietnamese and expats alike.
