Welcome
As you have experienced for yourself, INSEAD is a unique institution. In keeping with the school’s renowned entrepreneurial spirit, we have created a special digital reunion for you! Our approach is incorporate some of the best aspects of traditional in-person reunions in an online event that allows you to reconnect with your classmates and the school. The programme will begin with an “INSEAD Update”, followed by breakout sessions for networking and fun activities with your class. Many thanks to the class volunteers who collaborated with the Alumni Reunions team to develop an innovative programme that allows you to relive special INSEAD moments. Not an easy feat during these challenging times. Every year, I look forward to the reunions but this year, more than ever. I am eager to hear stories of how our alumni have weathered the pandemic and the economic consequences—the difficulties that you have faced, how you have met the challenges and where you have discovered new possibilities. As you know, I believe that INSEAD is a force for good in the world. Let’s meet up online for your reunion to explore what that means in today’s context and to simply enjoy the great pleasure of each other’s company! With best wishes, 
Ilian Mihov *Please bookmark this page for updates on your digital reunion, celebrations for your class and links to class gift campaigns. |
Programme
Start the reunion with a Faculty Webinar - specially organised in conjunction with the reunion.
In the afternoon, we will start with an opening address by our Senior Director of Development, followed by a school update from the Deans of INSEAD and Associate Dean of Advancement.
After the plenary session, you will be directed to a class-specific session led by your class volunteers.
The schedule below is tentative, so be sure to check again for updates in the coming weeks.

| Time (CET) | Session |
| 11:00-12:30 | Faculty Webinar Judgments: Data, Discernment, and Diversity Anil Gaba, Professor of Decision Sciences Lucy Quist, MBA'05J (moderator) Rapid advances in data storage and computer processing power, in tandem with growing innovations in machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI), have resulted in better outcomes for data-driven decision making. However, despite the abundance of available data, predicting the future, especially when it comes to socio-economics, remains unreliable, meaning that we continue to look towards “engineered models” to predict outcomes. This often results in an underestimation of chance outcomes, risk and uncertainty, meaning that we can fall prey to the Illusion of Control, with all the associated downsides. This webinar will discuss the role of data analytics, human judgment, and diversity in improving the outcome of our judgements. Click here for more details on the webinar |

Giving back
All returning classes are fundraising and the majority of alumni make a gift to the INSEAD Fund for their reunion anniversary. The INSEAD Fund is the School’s annual fund, allowing donors to direct their gift to a number of key areas: Scholarships, the Hoffmann Global Institute for Business and Society, Campus Renewal, Faculty & Research, [email protected] and the Dean’s Fund/Greatest Impact.
Most donors choose the Dean’s Fund/Greatest Impact as this sustains vital programmes like scholarships and research, and supports emerging opportunities, including innovative projects that arise during the academic year.
Of course, donors who make a gift to an area outside of the INSEAD Fund are still counted in the class total. If you’re thinking about a gift for a specific project, or would like to know how far you are from achieving your next Salamander, please contact Linda Eshel for the classes of '05J&D or Andy Glynn for the classes of '95J&D, '00J&D on the INSEAD Advancement team.
Alumni who commit to making a legacy gift to INSEAD are also recognised, and if you’re thinking about leaving a gift to INSEAD in your will or estate planning, please contact Linda who would be happy to help you with this.
All gifts made between 1 September 2019 and 31 August 2020 will be counted to the class total, and also count towards participation in the INSEAD Force For Good campaign.
Thank you for making a gift.
