The Corporate Alumni Conference is a once-a-year, content-rich, in-person opportunity to help put your organization at the forefront of all things Alumni Engagement.
This conference will help you keep up with industry trends and build your competitive advantage with a host of speakers and sessions designed to disrupt the status quo and introduce new approaches, innovative ideas, and industry trends. The conference aims to deliver fresh views and inspiring stories to shift your perspectives and deepen your understanding of engaging your Alumni to deliver organizational value.
The conference is applicable to customers in all Alumni maturity stages as it focuses not on the “what” or the “outcomes” but on the “why”. People participate in many different communities concurrently which means your community is fighting for the attention of members in an endless sea of options and distractions. For example, some companies “announce” a new Alumni Network, invite people to it, and expect engagement to appear as if by magic.
How communities form and the fundamentals of success all come down to recognizing someone is only a member of your community when the following four steps have been achieved:
- Your community aligns with their identity
- They trust that the community will bring them value
- They know how to participate
- There is a reward (intrinsic or extrinsic) for their participation
The conference focuses on what it takes to build a meaningful experience with your Alumni and deliver an engaged Network.
