Dear alumni,
HEC Alumni, HEC Paris and 9 alumni Clubs are pleased to announce a cycle of conferences in 2020 on the Quest for Meaning.
The opening conference will take place on Thursday, 6 February at Asiem (Paris 75007).
Please note that this conference will be in English.
Meaning is omnipresent in our societies and our professional lives:
- the individual quest for fulfillment and balance, a positive contribution to those close to us, our professional and civic activity
- the quest for meaning at the company level, where performance must not only take financial data into account but also societal and environmental impact
- the quest for meaning for our society, taking climatic, environmental and social challenges and risks into consideration.
The new decade will be one where meaning is placed at the fore.
This year, we would like to invite you to collectively ask questions about the meaning, in the broad sense, of our lives as HEC graduates, students or professors.
We hope you will add your voice and experience to this reflection to be carried out over a series of collaborative conferences and events throughout 2020.
