Alumni Networking Tables
For professionals who would like to share their experiences and be inspired by fellow alumni, we organize two rounds of 'Networking Tables' under the supervision of a supervisor.

How does it work?
There are two rounds of Networking Tables and after each round you change rooms and tables. You will be classified based on your interest, which you can indicate when registering online. The purpose of the Networking Tables is to share knowledge and personal experiences. The topics form the basis and together with your fellow Alumni you will discuss the following topics: Career Development, Life Long Development, Sustainability and Entrepreneurship. A supervisor will lead and monitor the discussion. Classification is based on preference. We try to take this into account as much as possible. Be surprised and inspired by the experiences of other alumni!

PAS Festival

Networking, Drinks & Music at PAS Festival (21.00hrs-00.00hrs)
The free Pleasure, Art & Science Festival (PAS) is being organized on 9 & 10 September 2022 on different locations. The joint drink after the networking tables will be at the PAS Festival, location Bouillonstraat 3. Every participant receives extra consumption vouchers for the PAS festival at the registration.
