On 19 September 2014, as the curtains rolled, teams from 14 countries
displayed their talents and competed for honours. A highlight this year
was student performances from Bangkok University and Thammasat
University.

The evening began with an international dance — a medley of various
international dance styles performed by one and all. A drama by AIT’s
Sustainability Club was another highlight of the show. 
Interspersed by various competitive segments, the event ended with more
dance performances — both traditional dances from various countries,
and an impromptu hour-long of fun with a large cohort of students
twisting to the tunes of popular international music.

Interim Dean of the School of Management, Dr. Donyaprueth Krairit and
AIT Student Union President Mr. Abhishek Bahadur Shah kicked off the
event with their welcome remarks. Organized by the Culture and Gender

Eight hours of rigorous performances later, the results were announced
with Nepal winning both the solo and group song competitions. Myanmar
