Honorary Discussions

This year marks the 14th anniversary of our well-known Honorary Discussions. This event presents the perfect opportunity to get to know students’ perceptions of various issues while sharing your own experience and insights with them. During the Honorary Discussions, 40 inspiring managers from the top of the business field and other fields of expertise will debate with 80 RSM students about relevant and interesting (business) topics. The table settings for the round table discussions rotate each round, making this a unique event, creating the opportunity for you to speak to a large number of honorary guests and students. The Honorary Discussions will end with a networking drink. Here you will not only get the chance to further discuss the topics with the students, but connect with your fellow honorary guests as well.

Visionary Voices

This year we will host the Visionary Voices. Speakers coming from a wide variety of both business and non-business related sectors get the opportunity to inspire the next generation with their visions. During this event, a diverse group of speakers share stories about their life journey and topics they are passionate about in an intimate theatre setting. There will be four rounds of 15 minute speeches, each followed by a brief plenary Q&A moment. The Visionary Voices will end with a networking drink, with the chance to meet and network with inspiring speakers and fellow students.
