On Thursday 5 Feb, the IMD Lausanne Alumni Association hosted an event for local Small and Medium businesses (PME) . I was very fortunate to be a key member of the organizing committee. I was responsible for working with the 6 principal sponsors, Bilan, Credit Suisse, EPFL, Ernst & Young, IMD, and Swiss Venture Club.
We had well over 200 participants and more than 80% were from the target audience. The event was held in French for the local crowd. It was the 1st all day event in French that I have been to since I have arrived (other than French class). It was also one of the first all French open events held at IMD. I am very pleased with the outcome and the participation.
I was very fortunate to work with Evelyne Dupart and Cinthia Grande at IMD who did such a fantastic job of organizing all the logistics. I also worked closely with Yves-Claude Aubert, the club president, on the many different aspects of the event.
If you are interested, you can see a review of the event (in English) on the IMD website. http://www.imd.ch/news/IMD-Lausanne-Alumni-Event.cfm
We are considering doing this program again next year, I hope to be involved then as well.
