ISMM ACDMM ACPMM Alumni Reunion
ISMM ACDMM ACPMM Alumni Reunion
Join us for a day of thought-provoking discussion and industry insights. Meet like-minded alumni from the course across its 58-year history. Hear about the projects our current students (C58) have been undertaking this year and the highlights of this year’s study tours of the USA and Europe.
Through in-company project work, ISMM students have contributed to increasing efficiency, productivity, profitability, and commercialisation across a range of industries in the UK and abroad over many years. This informal get-together will give you the opportunity to meet some of the current lecturing team members – faces old and new – and network with fellow alumni and the current student cohort. We would also welcome your input to our evolving strategy for alumni engagement.
We invite you to:
- Share and celebrate the achievements of our alumni.
- Meet old friends and make new connections.
- Hear from our latest cohort.
