Outstanding Prestige event for SKEMA Business School #10YearAnniversary in Shanghai !

24 June 2019 Events

SKEMA Alumni in Shanghai were invited on May, 30, 2019 to celebrate SKEMA Business School #10YearAnniversary and 160 years of history, on the rooftop of the well known Kartel in the French concession. The event hosted by Estelle Ouedraogo, Kartel Marketing & Events Manager and SK 2015, gathered 200 guests around SKEMA Business School Dean, Alice Guilhon, members of the Executive Committee, SKEMA Suzhou representatives and SKEMA Alumni teams.

The event was a great opportunity to come back on SKEMA's developments in China and great achievements in the past decade. When SKEMA Suzhou campus has grown from 79 to 800 students in ten years, SKEMA Alumni community in China has grown to become one of the largest globally with nearly 2000 graduate members, as well as a fast-growing and very dynamic network thanks to its three chapters respectively in Shanghai, Beijing and Hong Kong.

Evening guests which included alumni, corporate partners, some students, as well as representatives of The French Chamber of Commerce and the French General Consulate in Shanghai enjoyed a festive networking and reunion moment.

“It’s a great pleasure to be in Shanghai for this special celebration and meet our alumni community in China. SKEMA Alumni is a strong global fast-growing network with a history spanning more than 160 years and providing a multitude of opportunities to its members... Our alumni network in China is one of the largest globally growing from 150 in 2009 to nearly 2 000 graduate members by end of 2019, and a very dynamic community!”
Anne-Sophie DUCHAMP, SK Alumni General Manager

This event was the opportunity to take stock of 10 years of rich development in Asia and thank the alumni who play an active role in the network, such as the  ambassadors Victor Siboni, Vincent Leroy, Joss Roulet, Difei Ren (joining us especially from Beijing!) and Matthieu Dumont, China Campus Director and SKEMA Alumni.

“This event is a great success, it's a unique moment for our entire Alumni community in Shanghai to meet and forge links.
We have a beautiful and big community in China; as ambassador we are here to preserve and animate it!
It is now a year I am part of the SKEMA Alumni Ambassador team in Shanghai, I really like this opportunity and enjoy it!”
Victor Siboni, SK Alumni Ambassador

On June 1st, at the occasion of the CCI France China Gala Dinner, our historical partner in China, Alice Guilhon received the “Women of Excellence” Award from the hands of his Excellency Jean-Maurice Ripert, Ambassador of France in China.

We look forward to meeting you at our next meetups! Access the events calendar here.
