The Annual Alumni Seminar

Taking place in October, the Annual Alumni Seminar offers the perfect opportunity to catch up on the latest thinking from the world of business and provides an ideal networking opportunity. The event brings together our faculty and high-profile alumni for a series of lectures, debates and panel sessions. Premium Members receive a FREE place worth £120 and Professional Members get priority booking.

The Distinguished Speaker Programme

The Distinguished Speaker Programme aims to strengthen the Cranfield School of Management brand, develop further the relationship with alumni, students and key stakeholders and establish a platform to promote key aspects of the School and outline future developments. Four high profile speakers are scheduled a year and places are by invitation only. Premium Members receive regular invitations and Professional Members are given a priority subject to space limitations.

The Leadership Lecture Series

Throughout the year top business leaders are invited to the School to talk to students about their leadership experiences and styles. Many of the business leaders are our own alumni and their recorded presentations are available via the web to CMA members.

Business Networks Events

Business networks not only give the opportunity to learn from inspiring speakers and debate industry issues with experts in their field, but also enable you to network with managers from your own industry or professional area. We have set up three business networks- enterprise, supply chain and defence and are launching two new networks- finance and marketing. Click here for more information.

Lunchtime Research Seminars

These seminars, run by the School of Management, provide an opportunity to hear Cranfield's latest research together with that of leading academics from around the world. They have been recorded and are available here.
