You are still welcome to come and join us at the Business School Alumni Summer Reception – one of the highlights of the year and our most popular event. It is a great opportunity for you to reconnect with classmates and the Business School and the chance to make new connections with other alumni.
This year we are privileged to be hosting in the beautiful Victorian surroundings of 170 Queen’s Gate, the President & Rector’s official residence on the South Kensington Campus, from 18.00 onwards. We will be celebrating summer with a little South American flavour (though the event is not on a World Cup night) – expect sumptuous surroundings, live music and delicious food and refreshments to help you with your networking.
It is set to be a fantastic evening and we look forward to welcoming you on the night.
Tickets are priced at £25
The reception includes a welcome cocktail, food, the guest speaker, live music and a couple of complimentary drinks.
The online registration has now closed for this event. You are still welcome to attend and pay on the door (please note, we are only able to take cash).
