EMBA Alumni Reunion - July 2023

Programme

We are planning a weekend of special moments for you and your classmates. In addition to a plenary with the Deans and faculty sessions with your favourite professors, you’ll have plenty of time to reconnect with your classmates during your class meetings, networking sessions, and casual meals on campus.

The programme shown here is still under development, and the schedule is subject to change.

A fresh attendee list is posted every week. Click here to view the most recent version as of 30 May 2023. 

If you have any questions, please contact the Reunion Secretariat Service at [email protected].

Accommodation

If you are planning to attend the reunion, please book your accommodation now! The supply of rooms in the Fontainebleau area is limited, and we expect a high demand. Don’t delay in making your booking.

For single occupancy bookings at the INSEAD Residence Viatte, use the code ARW0707.

Unfortunately, local hotels no longer allow INSEAD to pre-book rooms for the reunions or other events. However, the hotels are pleased to receive individual room requests directly from alumni. Please feel free to contact your preferred hotel as soon as possible to secure your booking now.

For suggestions of other hotels or B&Bs in the area, please consult the Fontainebleau Tourist Office hotel listing.

If you need assistance, please contact [email protected].

Welcome and registration

Registration will take place at the reunion welcome desks for each class. Your reunion coordinator will greet alumni with reunion badges. The registration desks will be open Friday afternoon and Saturday morning.

Computer access

Computers with online access and wifi access will be available for your use during the reunion weekend. For username and password, please ask your reunion coordinator or consult the reunion programme.

Childcare

Most reunion events are not suitable for younger children. A list of babysitters is available upon request (please contact us at [email protected]). All arrangements for childcare are to be organized between the alumni and the babysitter.  If you would like to bring your older children to the reunion, you can register them as an adult guest.  If you have any questions, please contact [email protected].

Photos

Group photos will be taken on Saturday. Your class photo will be emailed to you after the reunion.

The Salamander awards

The INSEAD Alumni Fund (IAF), originally founded by Alumni more than 40 years ago, serves as a vital source of financial support for the School. We extend a warm thank you to all of you who have generously participated in the anniversary reunion appeals this year, your generosity enables INSEAD to preserve its place among the world’s best business schools. For more information about the IAF or should you wish to make a donation, please visit the IAF booth in the lobby.

INSEAD is delighted to recognise donors whose cumulative giving has reached specific levels:

Originally the insignia of the French king François I and later that of the town of Fontainebleau, this mythical creature representing the virtue of perseverance, was adopted as the symbol of the INSEAD Alumni Association. Since 1987, the Salamander awards have been representing INSEAD’s lasting gratitude to its donors. Salamander level donors are celebrated at alumni reunions and at INSEAD events around the world.
