INSEAD Salon Conversations 2017, Zurich
June 14, 2017, Zurich
This year Salon Conversations takes place at the stylishly traditional Haus zum Rüden. If you have never attended a Swiss INSEAD Alumni event, this is one to try! It is intimate and informal: no PowerPoint slides, no microphones and no fixed agenda! Instead, you are seated at a table hosted by an Alum who speaks on a business topic close to their heart. Open to INSEAD Alumni and their spouses/partners, this event is limited to 30 places. Tickets will go fast, so book early.
