On Friday, 13 September 2024, the HELLO! Connoisseur Club masterclass returned with its fourth season, with the first week focusing on wellness and networking, in partnership with BDMS Wellness Clinic, Lonny’s, and Penfolds.
HELLO! Magazine Thailand has been a key player in Thailand’s media landscape for over two decades, and since its inception, the HELLO! Connoisseur Club masterclass has excelled in positioning itself as a platform that fosters connections, providing insights from key industry leaders, and elevating both the personal and professional growth of participants. The fourth season of this masterclass will take place over a course of three weeks, and is designed to bring together like-minded individuals from diverse industries with the aim of empowering them to take the next steps in their respective careers.
The afternoon began with welcome speeches from Christoph Pagel, COO, BurdaLuxury, and Ploenchan Vinyaratn, Owner and Lead Designer, Beyond Living Co., Ltd.
“At BurdaLuxury, community is at the heart of everything we do, which is how we’ve envisioned HELLO! Connoisseur Club, as a platform to bring people together to learn, network, and grow their own communities,” said Pagel.
This was followed by the first session of the afternoon, led by Dr. Tanupol Virunhagarun, who delved into health trends, focusing on the aging process and longevity, as well as the rise of wellness across personal, business, and governmental sectors. Dr. Virunhagarun highlighted Thailand’s growing role in wellness tourism, the six pillars of lifestyle medicine, and the importance of a plant-based diet.
Participants were then split into two groups, allowing for a more personalised experience. Each group had the opportunity to tour the BDMS Wellness Clinic, as well as experience immersive health and wellness activities, including an Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) test check, INBody consultation, and an in-depth discussion with on-site physicians and dieticians.
After the group activities, participants reconvened for a panel discussion led by Dr. Sureerat Sritangrattanakul, allowing for participants to share their wellness stories and take part in an engaging Q&A session.
The evening ended with a gala dinner, where participants enjoyed a luxurious dining experience accompanied by live music performances. This was the perfect setting for participants to continue their networking, allowing for one another to build stronger relationships.
