Connecting Across Generations: Highlights from the CEMS Prague Alumni Homecoming 2026

Kicking Off the Weekend 

The Homecoming weekend began with a panel discussion focused on the future of the alumni network. We discussed practical, down-to-earth ways to grow the community and keep alumni meaningfully engaged. "It was great to kick off this informal weekend with a slightly more formal discussion on how to develop the whole community," noted Adam Palivec, Vice President of the Local Chapter. "We took away so many practical ideas from all stakeholders and definitely plan to act on them."

Connecting Decades of Graduates 

Throughout the weekend, graduates from different generations came together to share experiences, exchange perspectives, and reflect on the diverse career paths and personal journeys that have emerged from the CEMS experience. "It was truly special to see so many generations of CEMS Prague in one place," said Viktor Vondrášek, President of the Czech Local Chapter. "It was amazing to talk to people from all the way back to 2006, for example, and hear about which companies and careers they built."

Celebrating Community in Prague

After an enjoyable Friday evening at the Mamma Mia-themed Gala, Saturday focused on bonding activities. The day included a beach volleyball tournament and an ice hockey watch party cheering on the Czech National Team. The weekend's top moment was the Saturday evening gathering at Střecha Radost, where alumni from different generations came together to celebrate and share stories over sunset drinks with views of the Prague skyline.
