On November 9, CEIBS will proudly celebrate its 30th anniversary with a grand ceremony and a special “China and the World” Forum at our Shanghai campus. In the evening, we will also host a special CEIBS 30th Anniversary Concert at the Shanghai Grand Theatre.
For three decades, CEIBS has developed in tandem with the times, staying attuned to business development, promoting exchange and cooperation between China, Europe, and the world, and contributing its wisdom and insights both to China's economic growth and to the process of globalisation. Our 30th anniversary ceremony will reflect on CEIBS' remarkable achievements over the past 30 years, honoring our journey and envisioning an even brighter future.
On our 30-year journey, CEIBS has been privileged to receive support from renowned figures who have not only acted as global leaders over the past three decades, but also share a deep bond with the school. At the "China and the World" Forum, we are honored to welcome them and other esteemed guests from academia, business, and government to exchange their insights and offer a clearer understanding of the past, decipher the present, and chart a course toward a brighter future.
Finally, the 30th Anniversary Concert will feature world-class musicians performing classic pieces and delivering a symphonic celebration in tribute to CEIBS’ 30 years of excellence and boundless achievements.
Here, we present the agenda and event schedule for the celebration day. We look forward to seeing you for this special occasion!
