ABOUT OUR EVENTS
|
Monthly Happy Hour
Every last Wednesday of the month, AAGEF organizes a networking Happy Hour event from 6.00 PM to 9.00 PM.
During these events , a keynote speaker from the Business World or the Public Administration presents his/her activities and engages with attendees through a Q&A session. Registration for Happy Hour events is mandatory - sign-up links are shared through linkedin and communicated by each Graduate School / University Manager. Note that on sign-up, attendees are requested to provide a small financial contribution to cover the costs of the venue. |
The Entrepreneur Challenge
We also launched a pitching event for entrepreneurs willing to test their ideas in front of a group of senior experts. This Entrepreneur Challenge Event ( our take on Dragons Den in Canada or Shark Tank in the US ) took place in November 2015 for the first time and has become a yearly event, receiving more and more applications and gathering around 200 senior executives.
