On Thursday, 12 March 2020 the Dutch government announced new measures regarding the COVID-19 virus. As a result of these measures this event has been cancelled.

On Wednesday, 1 April 2020, the annual Erasmus School of Economics Alumni Day will take place. The day will start off with the EFR Inspiration Days, the successor of the EFR World of Business congress, in the C-hall of the Erasmus University Rotterdam. This year's theme is 'Power of Performance'.

On this day, prominent and inspiring speakers such as Donald Tusk (former president of the European Council), Pieter Elbers (CEO KLM), Peer Swinkels (CEO Swinkels Family Brewers), Peter Stas (co-founder and CEO of Frederique Constant) and many more will explore the theme through interactive workshops, lectures and a panel discussion, touching upon creativity, perseverance and leadership. 

Right after the conference the Alumni Drink & Dinner will take place in the newly renovated Restaurant Zalmhuis. Interested? Register by clicking the yellow button!
