How do you take alumni engagement to the next level? For King’s Business School, the answer was bold: launch a global alumni club network spanning five major international cities, all within one strategic, community driven initiative. Join us for an inspiring and practical deep dive into how KBS brought this vision to life.

Born from rich insights gathered in an alumni survey, this ambitious project set out to strengthen global connectivity, empower alumni to co create local activity, and build a sustainable structure that supports the entire King’s ecosystem. With a strong emphasis on career development for students and recent graduates, the clubs are also positioned to enhance student recruitment and enrich the broader student experience.

In this session, you’ll hear candid reflections on what it really takes to launch alumni clubs at scale, including:
• Designing and planning a global club model rooted in community needs
• Recruiting, training, and governing alumni volunteers across diverse regions
• Securing buy-in from senior leadership and navigating organisational alignment
• Unlocking funding to support engagement and growth
• The wins, the missteps, and the practical lessons we wish we’d known at the start

Whether you're considering launching international clubs, strengthening existing ones, or exploring new ways to embed alumni volunteers in your work, this session will offer actionable insights, replicable frameworks, and plenty of real-world learning.

Come ready to be inspired and to take home ideas that can transform your global alumni engagement strategy.
