IESE Business School

Networking events are a great way to meet and get to know students outside the interview process. It offers potential employers the chance to witness students interaction and presentation skill in front of senior managers and clients.

Networking events can be organized at the IESE Campus through MBA Career Services. Typically, these are a cocktail reception which takes place late afternoon after the company presentation. Please contact us if you wish to organize an event.

Networking events can also take place in one of Barcelona’s many excellent restaurants. MBA Career Services can help you by recommending ideal facilities for an event, researching availability, and coordinating the issuing and acceptance of invitations to students. Matters related to confirmation and payment of the event must be handled directly by the company.
