Building Connections: CEMS Club Prague Speed Dating Event, April 16

On April 16, 2025, CEMS Club Prague hosted a vibrant Speed Dating event, bringing together motivated CEMS students and leading corporate partners for an evening of networking, career advice, and new opportunities.

The evening began with a brief introduction and short presentations from the participating companies. This gave students valuable insights into each organization’s culture, values, and career possibilities.

The first half of the event followed a “speed dating” format. In a series of short, focused conversations, students had the opportunity to engage with company representatives, ask questions, and receive direct advice on how to grow their careers. This dynamic setup allowed students to quickly connect with multiple companies, while giving corporate partners a chance to meet highly motivated potential candidates.

The second half of the evening shifted into a more informal networking session. This part of the event provided additional space for deeper discussions with students who had stood out or expressed particular interest in a company. The relaxed atmosphere, complemented by an open buffet featuring pizza and refreshments, created the perfect environment for authentic conversations and lasting connections.

We were proud to welcome representatives from some of the world’s top companies, including:
McKinsey, VISA, Procter & Gamble, Coca-Cola, Asahi, Plzeňský Prazdroj, and Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield.

Why It Matters

Events like these are essential to the CEMS experience, offering students real-world exposure, direct feedback from industry leaders, and the chance to start building their professional networks early on. For corporate partners, it is a unique opportunity to meet talented students who could become their future colleagues.

We would like to thank all our corporate partners, students, and organizers for making this event such a success. We look forward to many more opportunities to connect ambition with experience!
