Reconnect. Share experiences. Build new connections.

Event Details
Date: Wednesday, 28 October 2026
Time: 5:30pm to 7:30pm, with the panel discussion running from 5:45pm to 6:30pm, followed by networking and refreshments from 6:30pm until close.
Location: Napier G03 Lecture Theatre, Napier Building
Note: Registration is essential for catering purposes, as refreshments will be provided.
With the creation of Adelaide University, this event provides an opportunity to reconnect our International Business alumni communities from the two legacy universities, strengthen existing connections and create new ones with fellow alumni, students and staff.
The evening will feature an alumni panel with graduates from different industries, career paths and professional backgrounds. Our panellists will share their journeys since university, including where their careers have taken them, important decisions and turning points along the way, and lessons gained through their professional experiences.
The conversation will then open to the audience for an interactive panel discussion and Q&A, providing an opportunity to hear different perspectives, ask questions and learn from the experiences of our alumni.
Following the panel, join us for light refreshments and networking. Whether you are reconnecting with former classmates, expanding your professional network, exploring where your studies might take you, or simply interested in hearing from our graduates, we would be delighted to have you join us.
Please register by Thursday, 22 October 2026 to secure your place and let us know of any dietary requirements.
