CElBS 30th Anniversary Celebration & Alumni Reunion
What is it?
Join us at our upcoming 30th Anniversary Celebration and Alumni Reunion on September 7, 2024, at the CEIBS Zurich campus. Titled "Legacy Unleashed: Celebrating 30 Years, Charting the Future," this event promises a day filled with insightful reflections and forward-looking discussions, featuring esteemed business leaders, our distinguished faculty, and CEIBS alumni from Europe and around the world.
What did we do last year?
Last year, our reunion in London was hosted at historically iconic venues including the Royal Institution of Great Britain and Freemason's Hall, presenting a vibrant tapestry of intellectual exploration and professional camaraderie. Highlights included discussions on strategies for multinationals in China, the power of female entrepreneurship, and the transformative potential of artificial intelligence in business. The event concluded with a memorable Masquerade Gala Dinner, leaving a lasting impression on our dynamic CEIBS community.
What we’ve got in store this year
For this milestone anniversary, we have curated a programme designed to reflect both the heritage and future aspirations of CEIBS:
- Keynote Speeches and Panels: Engage with thought leaders discussing "The Next 30 Years" of global business influenced by digital innovation, economic shifts, and sustainability practices. Our discussions will focus on three pivotal topics:
▸ Digital Transformation and Technology Leadership: Exploring the role of technology, including AI and digital innovation, in shaping the future of global business. We will discuss how CEIBS can lead in these areas and prepare its community for the digital age.
▸ China's Role in Global Business Evolution: Emphasizing the evolving role of China in the global business landscape. We will explore economic trends, international collaborations, and CEIBS' unique position in bridge building.
▸ Sustainable Business Practices and ESG: Highlighting China’s leadership in adopting and promoting renewable energy practices and its role in global sustainability efforts. - Networking Opportunities: Connect with alumni and business leaders across diverse industries and regions.
- Gala Dinner: Celebrate in style at the iconic Zurich Dolder Grand, providing a perfect backdrop for an evening of networking and celebration.
