EDHEC Rendez-Vous Lille - une soirée WE ARE EDHEC ! pleine de surprises

On 28 June this year, Lille graduates representing all of the school’s programmes came together at a fascinating location in Tourcoing to celebrate the annual EDHEC Rendez-Vous.

More than 160 participants braved the heatwave to discover a little gem opened for the first time to members of the public: Matériaux Authentiques. Imagine a former textile factory converted into a warehouse housing a vast collection of architectural artefacts recovered from the finest residences in the country. Graduates in attendance enjoyed a wonderful evening surrounded by traditional or vintage furniture and other items, lending intrigue and authentic charm to the warm atmosphere, topped off with a light display and a giant table football game.

Before welcoming the bulk of the delegates who travelled to celebrate this event together, this year’s edition included other opportunities for graduates looking for information or a way to contribute to their school and the EDHEC Alumni community.

Around 20 graduates turned up a little early to attend a one-hour workshop about EDHEC Tomorrow where they were given the chance to offer their feedback and suggestions to contribute to EDHEC’s 2020-2025 strategic plan. 

Geoffroy SARDIN (EDHEC 1993), President of EDHEC Alumni and Vice President of Marketing and Sales at UBISOFT, stood up to talk about his background and above all his sense of pride at belonging to the EDHEC community, a united community that now includes all of the school’s programmes, and a dynamic community boosted by volunteers like the team of ambassadors for the regional Hauts de France club who do a sterling job keeping the local network up and running.

The evening kicked off with graduates networking and enjoying themselves. Cocktails were served and participants had the chance to play a giant table football game and other forms of entertainment, with teams challenging one another while others looked for their winning trios before completing the WE ARE EDHEC wall!

A wonderful opportunity to get together and have fun!
