Alumni Day 2017

You and your fellow alumni are invited to celebrate Copenhagen Business School's 100th anniversary.
Over the course of the past century, each alum from CBS has written her or his own story as part of the greater history of CBS. With every new page and every new chapter, our collective narrative has grown in importance for Danish society.
From 1917 and until today, our tale includes over 85,000 individual stories, each with its own personality and ambition. Each account becomes a part of our larger community, able to be retold with pride and serve as inspiration for past, present, and future CBS students.
In this spirit, we invite you to return to CBS for Alumni Day. Reconnect with classmates, plug back into the CBS community with state-of-the-art research by some of CBS’ brightest minds, enjoy delicious food and, perhaps, share your very own story with us.
We look forward to celebrate with you!
