EHL Alumni is pleased to share an invitation from EPFL Alumni, Chapter Vaud-Valais, to a unique evening of discussion and networking at the historic Palais de Caux on Tuesday, 30 June 2026.
Bringing together members of the EPFL, IMD, and EHL alumni communities, the event will explore a timely question:
How can we ensure that technological innovation serves people, society, and responsible business?
In an era where artificial intelligence, digital transformation, and global challenges are reshaping industries, leaders are increasingly called upon to balance innovation with ethics, performance with purpose, and technology with human values.
Set in the inspiring surroundings of the Palais de Caux, home of Initiatives of Change (IofC), the evening will feature a guided visit of the venue followed by a moderated roundtable with experts from academia, government, business, and civil society.
