Riga Business School Alumni Day

Dear Riga Business School Alumni!

We are delighted to announce the upcoming Riga Business School Alumni Day on April 19th!

As we embark on executing RBS's strategic initiatives, we are excited to host a dynamic half-day conference-style networking event centered around the pivotal themes of technology and leadership. We plan to have speakers, our Alumni, and panel discussions wrapping around the topicalities of both themes.

This event will take place in the Atrium of SEB Global Services office GUSTAVS on 19 April from 13.00-17.00*.
