Global Celebrations

Group of alumni at an event holding a sign saying #OurImperial

Join in: Alumni Weekend Global Celebrations 2023

Celebrate the strength and diversity of our global Imperial community by holding an event for fellow Imperial graduates in your area this June.

Running alongside the Great Exhibition Road Festival and Alumni Weekend, taking place on 17 and 18 June, Global Celebrations are a great opportunity to connect with your local alumni network, make new friends and celebrate your Imperial connection.

We invite alumni groups to complete this form to let us know about the event you’d like to run so we can support you in spreading the word (and also send you a few gifts for you and your guests).

Type of event

What kind of event would you like to run? Some of the events alumni have held over the past few years have included networking drinks, fancy dinners and lunches, walks, online panel discussions, cultural and sport events, or family friendly gatherings, but it’s really up to you.

We invite you to think outside the box and plan an event with an Imperial twist. Could you incorporate a science or business element? Do you know any alumni who could host an event in their home or workplace?

Date of your event

When do you want to hold your event? The Great Exhibition Road Festival and Alumni Weekend take place in London on 17 and 18 June 2023. Global Celebration events should be as close as possible to these dates, and take place in between 5 and 25 June.

Key deadlines to keep in mind

Please email Kristin Gembiak - Alumni Engagement Officer (Groups and International) by Sunday 23 April to confirm you will be taking part in Global Celebrations 2023.
To make sure we have enough time to share your event with the alumni community, you will need to complete our form to confirm details such as date, time and venue by Sunday 7 May.

We’re here to answer any questions you have and to help make your event a success. We will:
