INSEAD-Emeritus Networking & Immersion Event
INSEAD-Emeritus Networking & Immersion Event
Dear Participant,
We are thrilled to host the inaugural INSEAD-Emeritus On-Campus Networking and Immersion Event for our Senior Executive Programmes Online, held on Saturday 30 November and Sunday 1 December 2024 on INSEAD's Europe campus.
Join us for two days of insightful discussions with INSEAD thought leaders and peers on topics that will transcend your learnings from the past 12 months and provide further support to your organisation's objectives and your role.
After a year of online and live virtual learning, this will be an opportunity to meet and network across cohorts of the Chief Operations Officer, Chief Strategy Officer, and the Sustainability Leadership Programme for Executives programmes. An occasion to share and deepen your learnings through peer exchanges and lectures.
Below you will find a draft programme which will be updated nearer the date.
We look forward to welcoming you to campus!
