Saturday evening, after the second day of the Forum, we sit down over drinks with FS alumni working in investment banking, consulting, asset management and related fields.

The evening stays open for conversations afterwards.

Questions & answers
Applying
Who can apply, and does it cost extra?
Everyone with a ticket for FS Business Forum 2026. Sessions are free for ticket holders.
Can I apply for several sessions?
Yes, one application per session. You fill in your profile and CV once, they are used for all your applications.
How are participants selected?
For most sessions, the FS Business Forum team reads all applications and CVs after the deadline and selects the participants. Some sessions are first come, first served. Career Speed Dating is organised by Privatize directly.
When will I hear back?
Each session shows its own deadline, and the date of the decision is on its page. We email you the decision on that day. If you get a seat, please confirm it by the date in that email, otherwise it goes to the waitlist. First come, first served sessions stay open until they are full, your seat is booked right away.
Who sees my application?
The FS Business Forum team. If you get a place, your application and CV also go to the partner company or the speaker of that session (not for the Alumni Roundtable). We delete applications and CVs on 14 Dec 2026, see our privacy notice.
I'm on the waitlist or can't come anymore.
If a seat becomes free, we email the next person on the waitlist right away. Can't come? Give your seat back under "Your sessions", so someone else can take it.
Signing in and tickets
What do I need to sign in?
Your order number from the Eventbrite confirmation email ("Order #…", also in your Eventbrite account and on the ticket PDF) and the first name on your ticket. If two people in one order have the same first name, use the long ticket number from the ticket PDF instead.
The email doesn't arrive or the link doesn't work.
Check your spam folder. The email goes to the address on your ticket, which may be the buyer's. Links and codes work once and for 15 minutes, always use the newest one. Simply sign in again to get a new one.
Someone else bought my ticket. How do I apply?
Sign in with the order number and your own first name. If your name is not on the order, choose "Someone else bought my ticket". If the email goes to the buyer, choose "Not your email address?" and enter your own. Either way, the buyer gets an email and agrees with one click.
I bought tickets for friends. What do I need to do?
Nothing in advance. Your friends sign in with your order number and their own first name. You get an email for each request. Only agree if the ticket is really for that friend: they then use it to apply and to get in on the day, so send them the ticket PDF. Nobody gets a ticket without your agreement.
