On 6 December, the IPAG Business School in Paris hosted the AlumnForce 2024 partners meet. The 15th edition of our flagship event brought together nearly 120 participants from schools, universities, companies and associations. It was a day of boundless energy, rich exchanges and memorable moments.
A day full of activities and discoveries
The event got off to a flying start with an innovative serious game devised by Baptiste Massot. This strategic game helped to break the ice while introducing the day’s themes: networking and collaboration between the various players in the alumni networks (students, graduates, companies and corporate relations departments). This game, a real catalyst for interaction, combines fun and reflection, and helped to strengthen links between participants.
At the same time, the day included presentations by our partners:
- Jean-Baptiste Morin, an expert on the coffee market, discussed the art of networking and its importance for students
- David Gordon, representing Nouvelles Voix, presented the strategic impact of podcasts in corporate communications
A dive into the future of alumni networks
One of the highlights of the workshops was the one on generative artificial intelligence in the management and animation of alumni networks. This debate provided an opportunity to share innovative visions and practical advice, while opening up promising prospects for alumni communities.
The afternoon was also punctuated by interactive workshops on a variety of themes, including :
- Mentoring, to highlight its effectiveness as a lever of engagement when combined with mobile tools
- Strategic planning of alumni networks, which provides the keys to successful and sustainable networking
- Management of a Corporate Alumni network, especially for corporate networks such as Forvis Mazars, PwC, Adecco…
Conviviality at the heart of the event
To round off this exceptional day, the participants gathered for a festive afterwork. It was an informal opportunity to extend the discussions in a warm and relaxed atmosphere.
A successful event thanks to collective commitment
The success of these Meetings bears witness to the strength of the AlumnForce community. It continues to grow and federate around shared values: mutual support, innovation and commitment.
We’d like to thank all the participants for their boundless energy throughout the day and for the incredible time we had together!
Mark your calendars: the next AlumnForce Meeting is already scheduled for June 2025!
