Reconnect.
Return to the conversations that made SEP distinctive. Matched one-on-ones, thoughtfully composed tables, happy hour, and dinner make it easy to pick up where you left off and begin something new.
For Stanford Executive Program alumni
SEP Reunion in Silicon Valley
Reconnect. Unlock. Evolve.
A bonus day for SEP alumni already gathering on campus for GSB Reunion Weekend. One day to reconnect with SEP colleagues, work through current questions, and explore what comes next.
One day, designed with intention
Thursday, October 1, 2026
Before the full GSB Reunion begins, we come together in a smaller, more intentional setting, with time to speak candidly, learn from one another, and reconnect as peers.
The experience
Three reasons to arrive one day earlier.
October 1 brings the SEP experience back into the room: thoughtful peers, direct exchange, and a day designed for participation rather than passive attendance.
Unlock.
Put a real, current problem on the table. Mastermind circles and Asks & Offers turn the experience in the room into useful questions, relevant perspective, and practical help.
Evolve.
Look ahead with people who see the world from different angles. A fireside conversation, small-group discussion, and Alum Talks explore what is changing and what it means for your work.
Are you ready to experience the global SEP community like never before?
