The CEMS Annual Events in 2013 were hosted by ESADE and took place in the beautiful city of Barcelona. The CEMS Alumni were well represented this year:
- 270 alumni participated in various networking and social events
- Alumni from all years since 1990 were present (except 1991, 1992, 1993)
- 945 graduates joined the alumni community and became ambassadors of CEMS bringing the number of CEMS Alumni close to 9,000 worldwide. You can watch the Annual Events and ceremony online here.
To celebrate the 25 Anniversary of CEMS the audience was honoured with the special presence of the four founding fathers of CEMS, who founded CEMS in 1988. To hear their visionary stories and those of exceptional individuals whom received CEMS Honorary Membership made many proud to be CEMS.
For the CEMS Alumni Association Board Elmar Friedrich was elected as new Board member for the period 2013-2016. Alumni Association Board Honorary Membership went to former CEMS Alumni Association Presidents/ Vice Presidents Dr. Andrea Castronovo, Vivian Kap, Robert Hackl, Elke Thamm and Torsten Rowekamp due to the impact of their achievements on the CAA.
Next to networking dinners, cocktails and parties CEMS Alumni met to view a panel of CEMS stakeholders and engage in workshops to reflect on priorities, challenges and opportunities for the CEMS Alumni Association. In case you would like to contribute to the CAA Strategy and Roadmap 2020, write to wieteke.dupain@cems.org.
We hope to welcome many Alumni again from November 28-29, 2014 at the Annual Events in Brussels, hosted by Louvain School of Management, or to see you at one of our many other CEMS events around the world.
