Global Networking Night (GNN) is an annual program bringing thousands of Harvard alumni together worldwide via events hosted by Clubs, Contacts, and Shared Interest Groups. GNN events are held either in person or virtually to allow the flexibility for groups to host in the way that works best for their community. Participation in GNN builds awareness of and engagement with your alumni community.
