Dear Alumni,
2025 will have been another exceptional year for Asage.
At the Annual General Meeting in June 2025, we grew from 27 to 32 founding associations with the addition of Oxford & Cambridge (Oxbridge), Solvay, Monterey Tech, ICAM, and ICN—proof of the dynamism and soundness of our concept: coming together to offer ever more spectacular, larger, and impactful events to our alumni from all corners of the world.
For me, the highlights of 2025 were:
- The fourth installment of our “Inside the Company” series, where we were warmly welcomed at the RTS offices for an interactive and immersive look at the latest news and the core missions of a public service dedicated to verified news.
- The successful partnership between our annual HR Event and the LausanneFilm Festival on the rich theme of “unconventional careers,” featuring a wonderful, diverse array of career paths that allowed everyone to envision their own future.
- Another outstanding “Plaisirs & Découvertes” experience at the Domaine de Châteauvieux, where we were treated to a special meal by Michelin-starred Chef Philippe Chevrier, who shared his passion, his culinary world, and his unforgettable cuisine with us.
- The traditional golf tournament, greatly enriched by a variety of other sports activities (tennis, pétanque, yoga) and the joy of getting together and sharing in the spirit of sportsmanship and camaraderie.
- UEFA granted us exclusive access to a new “Exceptional Location,” where we enthusiastically immersed ourselves in the institution’s many CSR initiatives—an organization that redistributes 98% of its rights to the broader European soccer ecosystem.
- And we ended the year with laughter and good cheer alongside two famous comedians from French-speaking Switzerland, Vincent Kucholl and Vincent Veillon, who—beyond the surface—explained to us in detail their signature style and their rigorous methodology for creating rich, varied comedy.
But as one year comes to a close and another begins, the new year—2026—will be another truly outstanding one, featuring a lineup of exceptional “events”:
- 22 January: Exclusive tour and dinner at the castle at the Prangins National Museum
- March 12 : New “HR” theme in partnership with the LausanneFilm Festival
- May 21: Enjoying and Discovering Italian Specialties @ Luigia
- June 5: New edition of Golf & Multisport @ Bonmont
- September 17: a new theme, “Inside the Company”
- November 19: New “Special Guest Speakers”
In addition to our prestigious and historic “Events,” we will continue to expand on Asage’s three new “Services” through recurring, in-depth sessions:
- Career and HR Workshops
- Workshops and Networking Events for Entrepreneurs
- Sustainability and CSR Workshops
