CUHK Business School · Alumni Events

The annual alumni event of CUHK Business School will be held as scheduled. However, in light of the special circumstances this year, the event will be conducted in a brand-new format. Even though we need to maintain social distancing, we can still gather together through an online forum. Alumni can also take this opportunity to support the development of CUHK Business School and its associations. This year, the “Global Alumni Forum 2020“ will explore how business leaders can revive, rebuild, and revitalize local and even global businesses and economies in a rapidly changing era. CUHK Business School will hold three online events in three consecutive weeks from late November to early December. We have successfully invited well-known guests from Hong Kong, the Asia-Pacific region, and around the world to host the forums and lectures. We sincerely invite you to participate. The “Global Alumni Forum 2020“ was originally an exclusive event for CUHK Business School alumni. Given the special circumstances this year, this event now welcomes all those who are interested in CUHK Business School and its programs, hoping that more people can benefit from the sharing of the guest speakers and moderators.
