23.09.2022 │ Göttingen – Göttingen Alumni Day of the PFH Private University of Göttingen

The Göttingen Alumni Day, to which the PFH Private University of Göttingen cordially invites you on 23.09.2022, promises to be a particularly interesting event. The popular format has had to pause for five years – not least due to the pandemic. For this year, the initiators Hans-Christian Riekhof, Hubert Schüle and Frank Albe have organized an event where a number of alumni from the 1999 – 2019 graduating classes in the subjects of business informatics, business administration and general management could be won as speakers for the three panels on digitization, globalization and pricing. The Alumni Day is placed under the triad “1 day – 3 topics – 13 opinions”.

In addition to their exciting lectures, there will be many opportunities at the Göttingen Alumni Day – true to the traditional networking idea of bringing students together across generations at their “Alma Mater” – to deepen old friendships, create new connections and devote themselves to an exciting and lively exchange at the reunion. The visitors can look forward to an evening event in Bremer’s wine cellar at the end.

The total of 13 speakers at the Göttingen Alumni Day 2022:

– Christoph Ahlborn (Nestlé Waters Germany GmbH)

– Michael Appel (MHP Management and IT Consulting GmbH)
