The IE Alumni Forum is the key event in the IE Business School calendar, bringing together alumni, students and professors to hear the views and insights of leading players and gurus from the worlds of business and academia. We decided to organize annual Alumni Forums because we believe it is essential to build and strengthen links with our graduates on both a professional and personal level, and thus serve as a platform for continuous learning and networking. The Forum also provides a meeting point for society, where international leaders in the fields of economy, politics, humanities and academia, join forces to examine key issues and emerging trends in multiple areas.

The Alumni Forum generates major debate which extends swiftly across media and social networks. The impact it has on a global scale has made it a benchmark for similar forums in the sector. Furthermore it has played a pivotal role in permitting IE Business School to achieve greater presence and prestige in the world of international business. As well as being an excellent source of knowledge and networking opportunities, the Forum promotes IE’s core values: diversity, humanities, entrepreneurial spirit, innovation and academic excellence.

The Forum usually attracts some 1,500 directors, entrepreneurs and students from over 50 countries. Ten editions have been held in Madrid, coupled with one in Mexico, one in Cartagena de las Indias, and another in Lima.
