About the Global Alumni Forums
Wharton runs three Global Alumni Forums annually as a service to the school’s alumni. The purposes of the forums are:
- To provide opportunities for the alumni to network for personal and professional reasons and to encourage the local alumni clubs;
- To strengthen the bonds between the school and the alumni;
- To promote the school in an important center for global business;
- To give global thought leaders a forum to discuss important ideas; and
- To give Wharton faculty and staff a chance to learn about important economies outside the United States.
The Forums began in 1993 and have been held thirteen times in Asia; ten times in Europe, Africa and the Middle East; and eight times in Latin America.
