Dear RBC members,
Forwarding Prof. Alejandro Lago message. He didn't plan a "Responsible Business" table, but in case any of you is interested in supporting the initiative, we can arrange something. Let us know!
Networking event with AMPs & EMBAs from Strathmore (Kenya) and Lagos (Nigeria) Business School
Dear Club Leaders
As part of the international spirit of IESE, Professor Alejandro Lago (Co – Director of the IESE Africa Initiative) and the IESE Pan –African AMP & EMBA program will like to invite you and other representatives of your clubs to a networking /exchange event in October with African EMBA students. As part of the experience, Nigeria and EMBA students would like to meet with fellow MBA students of IESE to share knowledge on key trends and opportunities that exist in Africa vis-a-vis Europe and the West. This is a unique opportunity for those interested in doing business in Africa and network with entrepreneurs from Africa (specifically from Nigeria and Kenya). For this we have to ask for the support of your club on attending the lunch on October 8
th at the North Campus Comedor. The idea is to organize lunch tables around specific topics (one for each professional club) and have the students from the Panafric Program and you MBA members, share views about the topic (maybe a 10 min presentation of the club will be OK followed by a Q&A session.
I would personally ask that you could bring at least 2 members of each club to attend the lunch since this is a very relevant event for us at the Africa Initiative. I hope you can make it. (Of course IESE will take care of the lunch)
Please see below further details of the event;
Date:
Tuesday Sept 27th 2016
Venue:
IESE Business School North Campus (Further details will be communicated once confirmation of attendance is received)
Time:
12:15 – 13:45 pm
