CPD opportunities

Joining instructions

Thank you so much for registering for the Alumni Summer School – we’re really looking forward to seeing you at Kent Business School. Here is all the information you need to know whether joining us in person or online:

Coming in person?

If so, do arrive around 30 minutes earlier than the workshop starts to allow time for registration and refreshments. At the end of the day, we will enjoy some networking drinks - do stay if you can. It will give you time to connect with people from different courses and cohorts, as well as any staff and guests that are there too.

If you haven't been to the MBA Suite before, it is based on the first floor of Sibson building. There is a lift (close to Sibson Café), and the MBA Suite is directly opposite as you come out. There should be a manned reception desk on the ground floor, so just ask if you are not sure where to go.

Joining online?

The workshops are all hybrid to allow everyone to join from wherever you are in the world. If you are joining us for any of the workshops online, we are using Microsoft Teams. Here are your links to the various workshops:
