Welcome to the IMD Alumni Club of the Netherlands

Founded in 1991, the IMD Alumni Club of The Netherlands encourages and facilitates continued learning and networking among IMD alumni based in The Netherlands.

Our club organises four to six events each year. These events help members to increase their network and gain the latest insights and thought-provoking ideas from leaders across different industries.

At some events IMD Professors join us to share their knowledge. We encourage an open dialogue and sharing experiences between members and speakers, similar to the IMD business school experience.

We welcome about 50 to 125 alumni per event.

Organizations and leaders who recently hosted alumni club events:

Digibende (Pieter-Christiaan van Oranje), Lightyear (Marco Vrijburg), Crystal Clarity (Willie Beumer) and the Dutch Red Cross (Heleen van den Berg).

In 2022, we celebrated our club’s 35th anniversary with the ‘The World in 2050’ event in the Johan Cruyff ArenA.

We are always looking for new events and initiatives and invite members to make proposals for events at their own organizations.

Have you completed an IMD program (which meets the alumni eligibility criteria) but you are not yet a club member? Join us and expand your IMD experience by completing and returning the membership form to our club office ([email protected]). Should you have any questions or suggestions, please also let us know.

See you at the next alumni club event?
