Bayes Alumni Connect is a series of regular networking events for Bayes graduates in London designed to help alumni create new professional connections, re-connect with old friends and catch up with all the latest news from the Business School.
- Audience: Bayes Business School Alumni, MSc Entrepreneurship Students
This special Entrepreneurs Edition marks the launch of ‘BACE’ – the Bayes Alumni Community of Entrepreneurs – a new initiative bringing together alumni working in, founding, or exploring the world of start-ups and innovation.
Hosted by Ruben van Werven (Senior Lecturer in Entrepreneurship and Course Director of the MSc Entrepreneurship, Bayes Business School), the event will feature an alumni-led panel discussion on the theme of: "Entrepreneurship Vs Intrapreneurship. Different routes into entrepreneurship – founders, intrapreneurs, and other entryways".
The panel will be followed by a Q&A session moderated by Sam Steele (Entrepreneur in Residence, CityVentures).
Whether you are a recent graduate or graduated many years ago, this is your chance to tap into the wealth of knowledge our alumni community offers. Expect an inspiring panel of alumni founders, opportunities to connect with like-minded peers and an opportunity to learn more about this new community.
