CONNECT Toronto ’19 is one of our biggest alumni events of the year. We welcomed more than 300 alumni to the campus for a two-day program of personal and professional development, amazing networking opportunities and entertaining activities. The theme Game On prepared our alumni with the new maneuvers required to win in today’s challenging game.
The Forum kicked off on Friday, April 26, with an alumni-exclusive Pre-CONNECT Primer, hosted in collaboration with Schulich Executive Education Centre (SEEC). The Forum continued on Saturday, April 27, with opening remarks and halftime update from our Conference Co-Chairs, Fotini Iconomopoulos (MBA ’05) and Vince Commisso (MBA ’92), as well as a fireside chat with Schulich Dean, Dezsö J. Horváth.
