Harvard Business School Executive Education Hosting Global Alumni Leadership Summit

Harvard Business School (HBS) Executive Education is hosting a two-day Global Alumni Leadership Summit August 25 – 26, 2016 at the HBS campus Executive Education precinct. Designed exclusively for alumni of HBS comprehensive leadership programs, the event provides an opportunity for Executive Education participants to reconnect with classmates and faculty and to attend plenary and case-study sessions led by thought leaders and guest speakers.

Das Narayandas, Senior Associate Dean for External Relations, along with Harvard Business Publishing, is leading this event. He notes, “For the first time ever, we have a complete precinct in which to deliver a holistic learning experience for Executive Education. The newly opened Chao Center is the hub of that precinct. Connecting executives to faculty as well as MBA students and the broader HBS and Harvard communities, it completes a self-contained ecosystem with which to deliver learning experiences both inside and outside the classroom.”

Frances Frei, UPS Foundation Professor of Service Management and Senior Associate Dean for Executive Education at HBS, comments, “Participants of our comprehensive leadership programs experience a positive inflection point in their careers as the result of world-class faculty and curriculum, a diverse mix of executives, and a campus experience unique to HBS. We often find that this inflection point extends even further to impact how alumni reflect on their personal lives. We’re honored and humbled to have alumni reunite on campus for the Global Alumni Leadership Summit to share experiences and return with fresh ideas, ready to drive meaningful change within their organizations.”
