Global Networking Night

Wednesday, March 25, 2026

Global Networking Night (GNN) is an annual program bringing thousands of Harvard alumni together worldwide via events hosted by Clubs and Contacts. 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. 
 

Participation

Clubs and HAA Contacts are invited to register an event by January, 23 2026

  • Required details include: confirmed event location or virtual meeting link, start and end time, host contact information, and venue specific information as applicable.
  • The HAA is no longer managing Club-SIG partnerships for this program, as there isn’t a one-size-fits-all model that works across all communities and event types. SIGs with chapters or volunteers in specific cities who are interested in participating may connect directly with the Harvard Club that is hosting GNN.

Please submit your details by the stated deadline to ensure inclusion in the event directory before registration launches in February 2026.
