On Thursday September 11th, Leadership Club had the pleasure of hosting a wonderful networking BBQ "Comme Chez Swa",  The name  is a tribute to our beloved bartender, Swa, at the Vlerick Ghent campus, who has always been the life of the party.

The BBQ provided a unique platform for attendees to engage in meaningful connections without the formalities of traditional networking events. The tagline, "No speeches, no keynote, just great food, great people, and great networking," set the tone for an evening focused on fostering relationships. The event successfully brought together individuals from various backgrounds, industries, and generations, making it an ideal occasion for alumni to reconnect with old friends, forge new relationships, and share valuable experiences.

This year marked a special edition celebrating 25 years of Vlerick MBA Alumni, which added significance to the gathering. To commemorate this milestone, 25 bottles of champagne were offered to guests, enhancing the celebratory atmosphere.

Sponsorship by Visit Switzerland and Geneva Tourism contributed to the event's success, as they provided goody bags filled with some nice Swiss product.

The venue, the stunning former Royale Belge building located in Watermael-Boitsfort, designed by architects René Stapels and Pierre Dufau, provided an elegant backdrop for the event. Its functionalist architecture complemented the informal yet professional tone of the gathering, making it a memorable experience for all attendees.

In conclusion, "Comme Shez Swa: The Networking BBQ" stands out as a remarkable event that successfully merged the joy of good food with the art of networking, celebrating a rich legacy while paving the way for future connections among the Vlerick Alumni community.
