This new signature event, open to attendees anywhere in the world, will feature a series of presentations, Braindates and virtual networking activities, capped off with an evening of celebrations and awards. Be sure to have a closer look at the scintillating lineup that you, as an alum or a member of the broader HEC Montréal community, will definitely not want to miss. Registered alumni will have access to all the activities throughout the day, as well as permission to watch or re-watch the recorded presentations at a later date.

The presentations are being held in conjunction with Executive Education HEC Montréal. And we’re pleased to inform you that all participants who take part in Gala Luminescence will automatically be entered into a draw to win a pair of round-trip airline tickets, courtesy of Air Canada.*
