Warsaw, what a weekend!
The Alumni Leaders Academy Europe Spring 2026 & the first-ever on-site JA Alumni Assembly brought together alumni leaders from across Europe for three powerful days of learning, collaboration, and decision-making. 🤝
From April 10–12, 47 Alumni leaders from 19 countries gathered in Warsaw, Poland, to exchange ideas, strengthen connections, and be part of alumni history as the very first participants of our Assembly! 🌍
This edition went beyond the Academy, combining leadership development, we held our very first on-site Assembly, where European coordination and strong country‑level leadership came together to turn engagement into lasting value. 💡
From dynamic sessions on strategy, partnerships, and community growth to engaging pitching workshops and country updates – every moment was filled with energy, ideas, and impact. The structure, transparency, and consistency of the sessions enabled European leaders to align on priorities, challenge existing approaches, and co-create the next 5-year chapter of JA Alumni Europe.⚡
And of course, it wasn’t just sessions! From networking moments to shared experiences, the was felt in every conversation. 💫
A huge thank you to our incredible hosts and making this weekend possible, and to our partners , , and SGH for their support. 🙌
