Henley Social for Students, Alumni & Staff and Pop-up Lecture

Bringing together the wider Henley community, this informal event is a chance to catch up with former classmates, meet current students and Henley faculty, and expand your professional network. Whether you're looking to explore new opportunities, reconnect with the Henley community, or simply enjoy a relaxed evening, we'd love to welcome you.

Complimentary drinks and refreshments will be provided by the Henley Business School Alumni Team.

Enhance your evening with an exclusive Henley pop-up lecture!

We're delighted to invite you to join Sarah Rourke (Henley Careers and Professional Development Coach) for a special interactive session - Awaken Your Career Activist: How to stay ever-ready for your next move.

Working hard and being good at your job gets you a long way. Then, usually somewhere mid-career, it stops being enough. This session introduces career activism: treating your career as something you actively manage, even when you're not looking for your next role. Using the principles from the book The Core Career Dials by Sarah Rourke and Dan Kiernan, you'll work out where you need to focus your career development efforts for the best use of your time, effort and energy. Interactive, practical, and built for people too busy to think about their careers until they have to.

Please note that places for this session are limited.
