The United Kingdom
We are the largest IMD Alumni club outside Switzerland and our mission is to provide members with first class opportunities for networking and for furthering life-long learning.
The club is run by a volunteer committee of Alumni – you can see their names and some brief biographies on the About the Club tab.
Members receive regular invitations to events, including members-only networking functions. Most of our large events are open to all IMD Alumni resident in the UK, but subscribing members have the advantage of early notification and priority for booking as well as a modestly discounted price. The annual subscription is £30.00. For more information, please go to the Membership tab.
Events are often arranged at relatively short notice and members are notified by e-mail at the earliest opportunity. For most of our activities, we use “Eventbrite” which provides a one-stop on-line booking booking portal. If you would like to see a summary of past activity, please click here.
We welcome feedback and suggestions to help us deliver what members want.

We look forward to seeing you at one of our future events.
Best regards,
If you are an IMD Alumnus/a, please log on to view all events, including those available to the IMD Alumni community only.
Our aim is to provide members with opportunities to meet and network in interesting, convivial surroundings. Our usual programme of events ranges from high profile speaker events to completely informal gatherings. Although much of our activity is open to all, members have the advantage of earlier booking opportunities (and thus priority if an event is likely to be oversubscribed) as well as a discount on the booking price.
The annual subscription is £50. Please use the “Contact” button on the right side of this page for more information about joining the club.
