emlyon alumni Connect the World Guangzhou
"emlyon alumni – Connect the World" is a global alumni event organized by emlyon business school, taking place from December 1 to 8, 2025. Inspired by Lyon’s renowned Festival of Lights, the initiative encourages emlyon alumni worldwide to come together through various informal gatherings—such as dinners, after-work meetups, coffee chats, or cultural and sports activities. These moments of connection aim to expand professional networks, share experiences, and collectively celebrate the spirit of emlyon, fostering a more vibrant and closely-knit global community.
On the occasion of this global alumni gathering, the emlyon south China alumni association cordially invites you to join us in Guangzhou for a unique event combining a fencing experience with an alumni dinner. This winter, let's step away from our busy routines and immerse ourselves in the elegant yet passionate world of fencing. On a warm, sunlit afternoon filled with the spark of clashing blades, we will share a vibrant gathering that blends physical activity with intellectual exchange. As we meet on the fencing strip, our bonds grow stronger.
