How to organize an alumni meeting

You shared countless hours together, you trained academically and as people, and you have not known anything about each other for years. It is about the schoolmates, of whom we thought we would be friends forever but the time ended up separating us. And nothing better than a reunion in which to catch up and know how they have gone. In we explain how to organize a meeting of former students.

Time heals all possible quarrels, and more if they happened when we were little. So one of the most important premises is to invite our alumni meeting to all the people in the class or the course, without exceptions. Afterwards, each one will decide if he wants to go or not. For this, we can, on the one hand, go to our school and ask for a list of all the year students that we need or look for in a yearbook or photograph of a special day -like the end of the year party- in which we all leave.

Once we have clear who we have to contact, social networks will be of great help. Before it was almost an impossible mission to find all the students, but with platforms like Facebook, Linkedin or Twitter we have a lot of wins. Although it is clear that some of them will not have profile in the networks, we can count on the help of students who do have to help us get their phones or contacts.

Then, the most advisable thing would be to make a WhatsApp group (or through the e-mail to compose the details of the alumni meeting .) The most important thing is to find a place to do it: you have to find a location in In addition to being able to bite something, you can dance, just googling the city where you are to find countless places.

With regard to food and drink, the most convenient would be a catering service. When choosing, keep in mind that there may be a vegetarian in the room and also people with cholesterol problems, so ask for variety for all tastes and physical states. The same with the drink. In this aspect, you must make a calculation of the rent of the room plus what is going to be consumed for the assistants to pay an entrance. You can combine everything or separate the drinks, which are paid separately according to what each one consumes.

There are only three more details left: how to organize the tables, the music that you will put -which can be a compilation of your time in the institute-, and photos of when you were going to class together. This last point will be one of the most fun since you will see how you have changed over the years and surely for the better. Ask the group to send you their snapshots in advance so you can mount a fun video. Keep in mind that you must have a projector to show it, so look for a place that has one.

With these steps you will surely be able to assemble a fantastic meeting of alumni . It will give you a little work, but it sure compensates. You can ask for help from your classmates and I'm sure more than one of you gets involved with you.
