Global Celebrations

We're excited to announce that Global Celebrations is returning in 2026! Once again, our alumni are uniting in cities across the world - each hosting their own unique event for the Imperial community in their corner of the globe.

This year, we're encouraging hosts to draw inspiration from the themes of Imperial's School of Convergence Science - an ambitious new initiative and core pillar of Imperial's Science for Humanity strategy.

The themes are:

Health and Technology
Sustainability
Space, Security and Telecoms
Human and Artificial Intelligence

Do any of these themes spark your interest? We also have a range of Alumni Affinity Networks built around shared passions and areas of expertise - we'd encourage you to explore and join them too.

Running alongside the Great Exhibition Road Festival, Global Celebrations are a great opportunity to connect with your local alumni network, make new friends and celebrate your Imperial connection.

Take a look back at our 2025 events below.
