A new cycle of events reserved for our Major Donors

The Meetings of the Foundation, a dinner series in small group – 3 meetings per year – around an Alumnus with a stellar record who shares his experience in his field of expertise, represents a priviledged opportunity of networking.

It contributes to the reinforcement of ESCP brand and to the proudness of belonging to our community. The number of places is limited to facilitate the discussions with the speaker.

The 1st meeting took place around Christophe Barbier (MS Medias 90), Editorial Director of L’Express, on the topic “The press, news and perspectives” on October 20th, 2015, at Cerle de l’Union Interalliée.
