Spain
Dear IMD Alumnus/a,
Since 1999, the IMD Alumni Club of Spain has provided a platform to extend our learning beyond the participation in IMD programs, network with other IMD alumni, share our experiences as leaders and, of course, have fun in the process.
We typically organize two formal events every year that combine presentations from IMD professors and guest key-note speakers. Additionally, we also have one or two company visits and leisure events that provide a great environment to establish new relationships with other IMD alumni. Some of these events will be for members only while others will be open to guests. Finally, as a Founding Member of the Ryders Club de España, we also participate in events organized by other business schools like Harvard, INSEAD, LBS, Wharton, et al.
We encourage you to become a member of our Club. All you need to do is to register and settle a modest contribution of 100 Euros per year, meant to cover the expenses of organizing the events. Please contact us about how to become a member by clicking on the button on the right.
The club is run by a volunteer committee of Alumni – you can see our names and some brief biographies under the link About the Club.
We look forward to welcoming you as a member of the IMD Alumni Club of Spain.
Best regards,
If you are an IMD Alumnus/a, please log on to view all events, including those available to the IMD Alumni community only.
