An EDHEC Alumni Season Under the Banner of AI, Net Positive, and Community Engagement

Each new academic year opens a collective chapter for EDHEC Alumni — a year shaped by connections, innovation, and commitment. Whether you graduated many years ago or only just left school, the 2025–2026 season promises to be richer than ever, in France and around the world.

A Must-Attend Event: The Welcome Parties

Starting in September, our 110 alumni clubs will kick off the year.

In Paris, join us on Septembre 27 for the big Welcome Party Paris: our professional, sports and leisure clubs will present their programs for the season. Corporate clubs will also be there to showcase the value of a strong EDHEC network at the heart of organizations.

And throughout the year, each of our clubs (professional, corporate, or local, based in 42 countries) will host an average of four annual events — from inspiring conferences and debates to networking opportunities and moments of relaxation. Plenty of occasions to meet, get inspired, and share.

Community Engagement: Become an Active Part of Alumni Life

Mid-season is the time for festive networking evenings — but also a reminder that the EDHEC community thrives thanks to you.

This is when we invite our Ambassadors to a day of strategic reflection, and all members to the General Assembly to collectively set the direction for tomorrow.

It’s also the ideal moment to remind you of the many ways you can contribute to your School and its network:

• Become an Ambassador to co-organize events

• Be a Mentor to guide recent graduates

• Share career opportunities

• Support the EDHEC Foundation by amplifying its initiatives

With the support of Brigitte Maïssa, Executive Director of EDHEC Alumni, and our Alumni Relations Managers, you’ll always find opportunities to contribute and bring our shared projects to life.

AI and Net Positive: Two Pillars of Your 2025–2026 Season

Our signature, “Engaged community for a better future,” takes on new meaning this year with two major focus areas:

Net Positive Business

Join conferences, round tables, and webinars to adopt a net positive approach — creating more value for people and the planet than is taken — and encouraging companies of all sizes to do the same.

Intelligence Artificielle

Whether you’re simply curious or already an expert, AI will be at the heart of the season:

• Sessions to understand the challenges and opportunities

• Masterclasses to dive deeper into practice
  
  
  
  

These initiatives are led by Géraldine Simon, Change & IA Manager, and Clémentine Geyelin, Net Positive Manager, supported by many experts from the EDHEC community.

A Unifying Finale: The EDHEC Rendez-Vous

In June, don’t miss the flagship event: EDHEC Rendez-Vous. Held in 45 cities worldwide and gathering more than 1,000 participants in Paris, it’s the moment to celebrate a year of collective achievements and measure our community’s impact.

And Even in Summer: The Alumni Summer Session

In July, extend the experience with Career and inspirational webinars and workshops, designed to bring the latest technological and managerial innovations into your professional practice.


In short, this new EDHEC Alumni season will be driven by innovation, conviviality, and engagement. We’re counting on you to join our clubs, share your ideas, and actively contribute to shining the EDHEC community worldwide!
