"Why did we invest in creating #BigBoldBrave HARVARD APAC Regional Conference? We are here because we recognize that the future is woven with questions that demand answers. How will we manage the water resources for the paddy fields of our villages in 2035? How can we meet the healthcare demands of an aging and prospering population? What educational and professional structures must we put in place today to ensure a thriving society tomorrow? And how can we attract and nurture businesses to enrich our countries and its people? The answers lie in knowledge, and knowledge is born from connection. Sri Lanka, our host nation, stands at the crossroads of the Asia-Pacific, a mere five-hour flight from half the world's population of 4.5 billion people. This strategic position, coupled with its rich cultural heritage, positions Sri Lanka as an ideal hub for dialogue and action."

Congratulations Avishi 👏👏👏 We are incredibly proud of you! Scholarship winner among 232 applicants & The batch topper of M.AD Social Media Bootcamp 5.0 (Top Dog Award Winner). Miami Ad School Sri Lanka
M.AD About This Journey! 🎓 A few weeks ago, I had the honour of graduating from the Social Media Bootcamp 5.0 at Miami Ad School Sri Lanka, and what a journey it’s been! I’m beyond excited (and still a bit in awe) to have received the Top Dog Award as the top performer of my batch—a dream I’ve had since day one. I can’t thank Miami Ad School Sri Lanka and Kandeban Balendran (KANDEE) enough for believing in me and awarding me a full scholarship, which has opened up a world of opportunities. I also had the privilege of joining the amazing Russel Valentine and Mayuri Gallage for the M.AD Rewind, where we got to reflect on all the fun, growth, and lessons we picked up along the way. This experience has been a game-changer, and I’m so ready to dive into what’s next with everything I’ve learned! 🚀💫 #MiamiAdSchool #SocialMediaBootcamp #GraduationDay

Despite the political uncertainties that may lie ahead, it is clear that a corner has been turned in the evolution of this creative powerhouse. The fusion of Sri Lanka’s cultural charm with cutting-edge technology has created something truly remarkable—a synergy that the world cannot afford to ignore. This is a nation that is embracing the future with open arms, combining tradition with innovation to craft solutions that are as unique as they are impactful. The world needs to watch this part of the globe, where the seeds of the future are being sown with ingenuity and passion. I am deeply grateful to be a part of this journey, to witness firsthand the transformation of Sri Lanka into a beacon of creativity and innovation, thanks to visionary, local powerhouse, and important human Balendran Kandeban!The energy, the vision, and the unyielding determination of its people inspire me daily, and I am convinced that the best is yet to come.

Three years ago, I completed the Social Media Boot Camp at Miami Ad School, not fully realizing the impact it would have on my life. Looking back now, I am deeply thankful for taking that course, as it has enriched both my personal and professional journey in ways I hadn't anticipated. It reminded me that education is a continuous process, and each step opens up new opportunities for growth and learning. Thanks for the opportunity Kandeban Balendran (KANDEE) Miami Ad School Sri Lanka
