Welcome
Dear Alumni,
We are delighted to invite you back to INSEAD Europe Campus for your reunion on 5-6 July 2024!
Alumni reunions are a celebration of you and of the joint project that is INSEAD. Something magical happens when you and your classmates return to campus to rekindle friendships, reconnect with the school, and renew the INSEAD spirit. And this year, it's your turn to experience the joy of being together again for your reunion.
We hope as many of you as possible will have the opportunity to travel from the four corners of the world to return to Fontainebleau for your reunion — see you in July!
Warmly,
The Alumni Reunions Team
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.

Reunions are a time when classmates join forces to invest in INSEAD, and that collective reunion energy fuels participation in support of the school. Reunion class giving is a powerful statement at a pivotal time – strengthening INSEAD’s competitiveness, broadening our reach, and deepening our impact.
Thank you for choosing to make a gift and support your class this year.

Giving back
The Salamander – a legendary creature, famed for its valour and perseverance – was the insignia of King François I. It decorates the Château de Fontainebleau where the first INSEAD classes were held and inspired the INSEAD Alumni Association to choose it as their emblem.
We look forward to honouring the Salamander holders in your class during your reunion.
Beginning in 1987, INSEAD has awarded Salamander statuettes to alumni and friends who have supported INSEAD with exceptional lifetime giving. In addition to listing Salamander holders on campus donor walls and in the annual Donors Report, INSEAD celebrates the generosity of Salamander donors during alumni reunions.
Are you interested in joining this circle of leadership donors? Salamander statuettes are awarded to recognise cumulative lifetime giving at the following levels:
| Emerald Salamander Diamond Salamander Platinum Salamander Gold Salamander Silver Salamander Bronze Salamander | €1,000,000 €500,000 €250,000 €100,000 €50,000 €15,000 |
| Black Donor Pin Blue Donor Pin Green Donor Pin | for Salamander holders €7,500 €1,000 |
