On September 24–25, New York City will host the Friends of Bocconi Benefit Gala and the Bocconi Alumni Global Conference - two days dedicated to philanthropy, thought leadership, and international networking. 

The program will open with the Friends of Bocconi Benefit Gala, an evening dedicated to uniting the community to fund scholarships for Bocconi students and celebrate the achievements of the American Alumni network. The Gala supports the American Fund, dedicated to making a Bocconi education accessible to all deserving and talented students, regardless of their financial situation. The American Fund is part of Bocconi's broader fundraising campaign, Bocconi: A Place for the Future.

The following day, the Bocconi Alumni Global Conference 2026 builds on this spirit of commitment with high-level conversations on the forces reshaping business, institutions, and society. Under the theme Beyond Borders, the conference brings together a global community of Alumni, executives, entrepreneurs, academics, and decision-makers to exchange perspectives on the ideas, challenges, and opportunities shaping what comes next.
