Finance Night
Current Market Drivers, Career Success & Leadership
Thursday 1st October | 6:30pm | RWE, London
In conjunction with the EDHEC Master in Finance students' company visit week in London, EDHEC Alumni and EDHEC Careers & Employer Engagement teams are joining forces to bring you the first edition of Finance Night, an evening open to all, men and women, and dedicated to inspiring and empowering the current and next generation of finance leaders.
CONVERSATIONS THAT MATTER
We have invited a select group of EDHEC alumni at different stages of their finance career for an open discussion on their journey and hear their perspective on the current market and what lies ahead.
The conversation will be structured around three themes:
- Current Market Drivers & Outlook: what our panellists' roles look like from the inside and the key forces shaping their immediate areas and the wider finance sector today, from shifting geopolitics to the growing influence of AI
- Key Success Factors in Navigating a Career in Finance: how our panellists climbed the ladder, the choices and turning points along the way, and what it takes to build a lasting career in finance
- Women in leadership: our panellists' own leadership journeys, what organisations look for, how they attract, develop and retain female talent, and any advice for the next generation of women in finance
The discussion will be followed by an open Q&A.
Networking reception.
Generously hosted by our corporate partner RWE, it is a genuine chance to meet in person the panellists, other students, fellow alumni and our valuable corporate partners.
A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO:
- Reconnect and meet with fellow EDHEC alumni in London, across cohorts, within the financial sector and the wider finance industry
- Engage with EDHEC wonderful Corporate Partners from across the financial services sector
- Welcome the next generation: EDHEC Master's students visiting London for their company visit week
