This year, GEMBA Alumni Day will take place alongside the IESE UK Alumni Summit, creating a unique opportunity to reconnect with fellow GEMBA alumni from around the world before joining the broader IESE alumni community.

The GEMBA-exclusive agenda preserves the spirit of the Global Executive MBA experience: faculty-led academic insights, curated networking opportunities and dedicated social moments with fellow GEMBA alumni.

The program begins on Thursday, September 24, at BrainStation London, in the vibrant Shoreditch area, with a keynote session by IESE Prof. Miquel Lladó on “Stepping into the Boardroom: From Executive Leadership to Governance.” The session is followed by a panel discussion featuring members of the IESE GEMBA community.

The day concludes with the GEMBA Soirée, an evening reception with canapés, drinks and music — the perfect setting to reconnect, strengthen relationships and expand your professional network within the Global Executive MBA community.

On Friday morning, the program continues with the GEMBA AI Hackathon, a collaborative working session focused on AI-related challenges. Attendees are invited to share specific challenges with the GEMBA Team ahead of the session.

The morning is followed by lunch at leisure in the Shoreditch district, before the IESE Alumni Summit kicks off at 3:00 p.m.

From Friday afternoon through Saturday, participants are welcome to join the IESE UK Alumni Summit, open to the wider IESE alumni community in the UK region.

Please note there are separate registrations for the GEMBA Alumni Day and the Social Activities for the UK Alumni Summit. You can register for the UK Alumni Summit Social Activities here.

We look forward to seeing you in London!
