The event will take the form of a conference beginning at 5:00 p.m., followed by a standing dinner and networking session. The conference will consist of two parts. The first session will be devoted to the history of CEMS and SGH’s accession to the CEMS Alliance. The second session will take the form of a panel discussion on the challenges of education within the CEMS Master’s in Management (CEMS MIM) programme.
Among the distinguished guests will be CEMS Executive Director Nicole de Fontaines, CEMS Deputy Director Marcel Fuchs, CEMS co-founder Jean-Paul Larçon, and other individuals who played an important role in SGH’s accession to CEMS.
