"Global Networking Night (GNN) is living proof of the dynamism and connectedness of the Harvard alumni community. Each year we see more cities participate and more alumni attend to strengthen their personal, professional, and intellectual bonds within the network. I hope you will participate in our next GNN."
-Philip W. Lovejoy
Global Networking Night (GNN) is a great opportunity to explore and expand your Harvard Network. This unique biannual event brings alumni together for one night every June and January in cities around the world. Held in local establishments, GNN events are designed to provide networking opportunities in fun, informal, and relaxed settings. The first GNN, held on December 30, 2008, saw over 1,700 guests in 15 locations across the globe. Since then, GNN has expanded to over 100 locations hosting more than 8,000 attendees each January and June. All GNN events are open to Harvard alumni, students, faculty, and their guests. Attendance in most cases is free, although some locations may have food and beverage available for purchase.
