INSEAD Alumni Forum 2026
INSEAD Alumni Forum 2026
Welcome
Leadership, Balance and Disruption in a New Era
Join us on 15–16 May 2026 in Oslo, a city where dramatic landscapes meet bold innovation. Oslo and Norway, today, offer a compelling vantage point from which to view the way the world navigates complex disruptions and seize opportunities for transformation.
Rooted in an oil-rich present yet forging a future in clean energy, Norway offers a living laboratory of energy transition. It also reflects broader shifts in business models and value creation, where legacy industries are being reimagined through the lens of sustainability, innovation, and resilience. Against this backdrop, we will explore how leaders across sectors are recalibrating strategies, embracing uncertainty, and driving impact in an era where the old rules are being rewritten.
Together, we will examine how geopolitical shifts and global risks are reshaping power dynamics on the world stage. We’ll explore the evolving energy equation, where legacy oil producers and clean tech pioneers alike must navigate a volatile, fast-changing landscape. As artificial intelligence redefines the boundaries of innovation and influence, we’ll consider what it means to lead in a world increasingly driven by data, automation, and intelligent systems.
And throughout, we will ask how leaders and businesses can foster resilience and responsibility, building adaptive models to respond to technological, ecological and economic disruption.
Join a global community of alumni, business leaders, policymakers, and academics in Oslo as we chart a path toward a more resilient, inclusive, and forward-looking future.
