120 years of heritage. And still a future to build.

For over a century, EDHEC graduates have shared much more than just a journey: a set of core values, intellectual rigour and the ability to adapt, enabling them to understand a constantly changing world — and help shape it.

EDHEC Rendez-Vous 2026 embodies this living connection between generations. A time to reconnect, exchange ideas, take a step back… and, above all, look ahead together to what lies ahead.

An event that reflects our international network

Over 40 cities in France and around the world will be celebrating EDHEC Rendez-Vous with their local communities. All the dates will soon be available on the calendar at alumni.edhec.edu.
