A look back at the 2025 Alumni Fair: the best of the network, in one evening

On Tuesday, November 25, the Léonard de Vinci Campus hosted the 2025 edition of the Alumni Fair, the must-attend event for graduates and students of EMLV, ESILV, IIM, and De Vinci Executive Education. And once again, the community showed that it was brimming with energy and enthusiasm!

A loyal, intergenerational community

Once again, this event provided an opportunity to (re)connect different generations, from the class of 1999 to 2025, around shared values: sharing experiences and passing on knowledge, solidarity and mutual support, curiosity and a thirst for learning. 

For over two hours, students were able to talk to graduates, ask them questions, draw inspiration from their varied career paths, and leave with practical advice for their professional future—the discussions were so rich that they could have lasted all night!

The numbers:

• 170 graduates, including 112 who came to share their career paths, successes, and advice
• 600 motivated students, ready to explore new perspectives and boost their network by meeting their elders, who work in the companies of their dreams

And when you look at the list of companies represented—Air France, PwC, Valeo, Safran, Dassault Systèmes, Devoteam, Wavestone, VINCI Construction SI, Accor, Saint-Gobain, AP-HP, BPCE, Société Générale, Natixis CIB, Avanade, Amazon, Thales, Capgemini, Sia, Siemens... and many others — it's easy to see that inspiration was in the air!

Every year, many of them return: their valuable commitment fuels the students' ambition while strengthening the cohesion of the network.

An evening dedicated to all talents

Everything was there to boost their careers:

• The Poletech association immortalized the participants, who left with professional photos, perfect for updating their resumes or LinkedIn profiles.
• De Vinci Executive Education highlighted its training programs designed to develop skills and support alumni's professional development throughout their careers.
• The Institute for Future Technologies presented its activities, opportunities, and support services.

The evening continued with a cocktail reception for graduates, an opportunity to reminisce about campus life over a buffet accompanied by warm musical ambiance—special mention to Musique Mix!

See you in 2026: same energy, same spirit... and a new campus!

Three words to sum up the evening, according to those who attended: “Excitement,” “Dynamic,” and “Friendly,” of course!

The Léonard de Vinci campus is preparing to write a new page in its history with the opening of its future campus, the Campus du Parc (discover it here), next year. 

The 2026 Alumni Fair already promises to be a memorable event!
