Spring Campaign 2019: Join a GEN Event in Participating Hub Cities!

AIESEC Life is excited to kick off a new initiative to Grow, Educate and Network our alumni. The all-new GEN events will take place in major hub cities across the country this spring, between March and May 2019. We hope you can join us to hear from interesting and engaging speakers who will cover an array of topics including innovation, creativity, and technology. More than a happy hour, these events will provide an opportunity for alumni to connect with each other, meet key stakeholders, inspire LC members and raise the profile of AIESEC Life in our communities.

GEN Events will be posted here. Check back often as events in major hub cities will be added in coming weeks. If you would like to get involved with an event as a speaker, host the venue or just help out the hub team, please click here and go to the Alumni Hubs tab for a list of hub city contacts.
