MBA Alumni 20-45Y Reunion - June 2025

Dear Alumni,

This year, it's your turn to experience the joy of being together again for your reunion!

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.  

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 June!

Warmly,

Anne-Ev Enzmann MBA'01J
Executive Director of Alumni Engagement and Learning

By attending this event, you consent to INSEAD and its partners taking photos, videos, and sound recordings and you grant INSEAD and its partners the rights of your image and/or image of your underage child/children attending the event, in video or still, and of the likeness and sound of your voice(s) as recorded on audio or videotape, without payment or any other consideration. These images and recordings may be edited, copied, exhibited, published or distributed, and you waive any right to royalties or other compensation arising from or related to the use of these images or recordings. Photographic, audio or video recordings may be used for any use including but not limited to: livestreaming, online videos, presentations, media and social media, news (press), and INSEAD websites. By attending this event, you and all members of your registration group accept to be photographed, filmed, and recorded during the event; acknowledge that these images and recordings may be used as noted above; and release any and all claims against INSEAD and its partners utilizing this material. If you would prefer that you, your underage child, or any member of your registration group not be photographed or recorded during the reunion, or if you would like us to delete your images, please contact our Alumni Reunions team at [email protected].

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.

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:

• How can I register for my reunion? Will I be able to register by phone or via email?
It is an easy process via a dedicated online registration page. We encourage you to use the online registration website. If you are having difficulty accessing it or for any questions, please contact us at [email protected] or on +33 1 84 80 70 35.

• How do I know if I am registered?
Once you have successfully registered and paid online, you will receive a confirmation email from Eventbrite, and your name automatically appears on the list of attendees.

• Do my family members need to register for the reunion?
Only registered attendees will be allowed to access campus during the reunion. As such, your partner and other accompanying family members must register.

• I’m currently not sure if my partner/guest will join. How do I register him/her at a later stage?
Once you have registered online, you can go back on line and add your partner/guest at a later stage (before the closing of registration).

• All the pre-booked hotels are full: where can I find a room?
For suggestions of other hotels or B&Bs in the area, which may have vacancies, please consult the Fontainebleau Tourist Office hotel listing.

• What will my partner do on campus during the sessions?
There is no separate programme for partners but they are welcome to all reunion activities as long as they are registered.

• What is the dress code on campus for the Reunion?
The dress code will be business casual for the on-campus events and the Reunion class dinners at the Château are black tie or cocktail attire (unless otherwise specified by your class).

• When will the class photo be available?
The class photo will be available after the reunion. Electronic copies will be sent to you by e-mail.

• What is the seating plan for the Saturday dinner?
There is no fixed plan for the class dinner.

• Is the Saturday dinner suitable for 18+ children if they come along for the weekend?
It is suitable and you can register him/her as an adult guest.

• How do I make a make a class gift?
If you would like to participate in the class gift, please refer to the Giving back section.

• Why are the costs for the reunion higher this year compared to previous years?
We understand that the increased ticket prices may come as a challenge, and we share in the wish that such changes were unnecessary. The rise stems from a combination of factors beyond our control—inflation, higher venue rental fees, and the mounting costs of catering and essential services. Construction on our European campus has further complicated logistics, adding to our expenses. For many years, we held ticket prices steady despite the rising costs of materials and services, but the current pace of increase compels us to adjust in order to safeguard the tradition and viability of reunions for years to come. Please know that reunions are organized without profit; our aim has always been, and remains, to create a meaningful and high-quality experience for all who attend.

• Are there any options for alumni who may find the cost prohibitive?
While we encourage all alumni to dive into the full weekend experience—including the vibrant on-campus events and the gala dinner at the Château—we completely understand that the ticket prices might feel a bit limiting. That’s why we’re giving you the flexibility to attend either one or both, depending on what works best for your budget. This way, everyone can enjoy as much (or as little!) of this special celebration as they’d like. We can’t wait to see you there, making memories to last a lifetime!
If you would like details of how to attend one rather than both parts, please contact [email protected].

• Do you make a profit from the reunions?
No, we do not, and have never, made a profit from reunions. In fact, each ticket is subsidised by INSEAD. Our sole aim is to bring alumni together and create an experience that honours our shared connections, not to generate revenue.

• How are the funds from the reunion used?
Ticket sales from the reunion are used solely to cover the costs of the event. This includes expenses such as venue rental, catering, staffing, and services. Every euro is directed toward ensuring the reunion is a memorable experience for all.

• What efforts are being made to keep the reunion affordable?
We are working hard to make the reunion accessible to as many alumni as possible. To that end, we are actively seeking sponsorships to help offset costs (where possible). At the same time, we are in conversation with vendors and venues, negotiating the most favourable rates we can secure. If you have ideas on how to reinvent the reunion concept to make these gatherings more affordable, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at [email protected].

• Is there a refund policy if I need to cancel my registration?  
In order to provide a quality reunion experience for all attendees, INSEAD will apply the following refund policy to reunion registration fees:

- 50% refund until 26 May 2025, inclusive
- 25% refund from 27 May through 20 June 2025 (registration closure)
- No refund possible after 20 June 2025

The reunion secretariat service is available to answer your questions about the reunion, including the programme, accommodation, registration, and other practical matters.

If you’d like more information about volunteering as a member of your class’s Reunion Committee, please contact Marie Ferreira.

If you’d like more information about your class’s Reunion Gift, please contact Nathaniel Avital. 

We look forward to seeing you in June!
