We are delighted to invite you to the first IESE Alumni & Friends Summit in London on September 25 & 26, 2026, a new annual gathering designed to bring together IESE alumni for learning, inspiration and meaningful connection.
Hosted at the NatWest Auditorium in the heart of the City of London, the Summit will feature IESE faculty, distinguished alumni and business leaders sharing insights on the challenges and opportunities shaping today's business landscape.
Throughout the afternoon of Friday, September 25, participants will enjoy a thought-provoking academic session with Prof. Sandra Sieber; entrepreneurial perspectives moderated by Jane Barrett, Head of Product at Reuters and delivered by Sam Glasswell (MBA-16), Jonathan Lakin (GEMBA-03), and Edward Orr (MBA-00); Eghosa Oriaikhi, who will share insights on leadership, innovation, and navigating change in a rapidly evolving business landscape; and opportunities to reconnect with classmates, friends and fellow alumni from across the UK and beyond.
The day will conclude with a networking cocktail, offering the perfect setting to strengthen relationships, exchange ideas and expand your professional network within one of IESE's most dynamic international communities.
Since this is an IESE Alumni event, prospective MBA candidates may attend only the Friday event and are welcome to join only the last 2 hours for the Friday session, including the cocktail, to interact with our London-based Alumni. You are not obliged to stay for the whole 6-hour Friday session but you are welcome to join if you wish.
