Amsterdam MBA Alumni Day

27 April 2013

Our most recent Amsterdam MBA Alumni Day was held April 27, 2013 at the Amsterdam Business School. Alumni from near and far rejoined us for inspirational lectures and brand new insights in leadership and business from the MBA program’s most valued faculty, such as distinguished University Professor Alexander Rinnooy Kan and 2012 MBA Professor of the Year Jan-Willem Stoelhorst. See last year’s full programme below.

Providing a mix of social activities and workshops--for instance with Wessel Ganzevoort, Hans Strikwerda, and Roger Pruppers--the 2013 Amsterdam MBA Alumni Day offered alumni the chance to reconnect with old classmates and meet alumni from other years in a vibrant and stimulating setting. What’s more, April 27 was set in the weekend of Queen Beatrix’ abdication and the ascension of King Willem-Alexander to the throne. A historic moment and one giant party weekend!

The 2014 Amsterdam MBA Alumni Day will be held on April 12, 2014. Register now and mark your calendars!
