Our mission has 3 pillars to it: We aim to

Activities

We have events for members throughout the year:

A monthly social gathering on the first Thursday of the month
40+ subgroups with their own content and social get togethers - some are for people working in similar functions in the industry, others for topics of interest and some are purely social. Subgroups run their own events to get to know each other or drive forward an agenda. These groups are about participation - they are by the groups, for the groups
An annual Summit Meeting for an in-person opportunity to discuss how the industry and market are changing and what we need to do as individuals to embrace the chang

Members can also keep in touch through the WhatsApp community, website and our closed LinkedIn group. Associate membership is free - we are looking for people to get involved and play a part in building this community.

Monthly Gatherings

A simple apéro every month in Zug for all our members to meet and network. This is a great opportunity to get to know the group in a casual manner.

Channels

We have a closed LinkedIn group and a WhatsApp community of about 40 different groups so that people can find groups of particular interest, meet and collaborate. Groups bring together people working in similar functions or with an interest in a particular topic or with a social interest in common

Events

NEW for 2025

We will have an extensive events programme in 2025, from workshops and evening seminars, to social events and a Zug Summit meeting in October
