EIT Food Alumni Fest 2022

After a year of connecting online, it’s finally time to meet in person at the first edition of EIT Foid Alumni Fest!

Alumni Fest is an experience created specifically for you that includes three networking events in one day to give you the maximum opportunity to grow in your career, make new connections and share inspiring ideas.

Here are the three events happening under the Alumni Fest umbrella:

1️⃣ Networking breakfast & career speed dating

Start your day with a cup of fresh coffee, croissant, and … of course EIT Food and our amazing partner companies! 

This breakfast will not be like any other because we are organising Career Speed Dating. During this activity, you will meet representatives of our partner companies and external organizations that are looking for talent. In just about 8 minutes you’ll get a chance to pitch yourself to the potential employer and ask them a couple of questions and then …⏰🔔bzzzz! Time to move to the next table!

This way you will get half a dozen (or even more) job interviews in just one day. Isn’t it impressive? 

Reserve your spot now and more information as well as the final registration form will follow soon.

2️⃣ EIT Food 2022 Annual Event: Let’s Get Real About Food

You might have already heard about our Annual Event – the good news is, this year you get to attend it for free!

EIT Food’s Annual Event brings together our community of partners and external agrifood stakeholders, all united in the willingness to accelerate our revolution in food to create healthy food systems that sustain our society and our planet.

At this 4th edition of our Annual Event, participants will have an opportunity to meet and network with stakeholders, experts, and industry peers from across the entire food value chain, to take part in interactive sessions on the new opportunities for open calls for proposals and mission programmes, and engage in co-creation, cooperation, and building new relationships during a special programme with discussions, panel sessions, showcase segments, and matchmaking.

3️⃣ And finally… Alumni Dinner!

Finish this active and full of experiences day with a dinner in the company of fellow alumni. You will share the emotions and experiences of the day over delicious food and famous Belgian beers and enjoy the great community of EIT Food alumni.

The dinner will be partially sponsored by EIT Food and we invite you to contribute a small fee of 15 EUR. 

Do you feel like doing more than just attending? Drop me a message at karine.akopian@eitfood.eu if you want to be part of the organising committee for the dinner.
