Due to the preventive measures against covid-19, the upcoming KLUmni Homecoming on 7 November 2020 is online with the amazing effect that for the first time in KLU history everyone around the world is able to participate without travelling to Hamburg.

You will be able to learn about latest developments at KLU and the KLU Alumni Association. Participate in the Expert Q&As with Rod, Alan, Niels or Maria, all luminaries in their fields. We included a networking opportunity. Vote for new board members during the general assembly. Don’t miss the surprises we have up our sleeves following the Gratitude Project, and the Alumni Toast Video. Last but not least meet in person during various local get togethers!

Important Note: We are still looking for volunteers! Please find more details below!

Zoom yourself into our meeting

We are using a software called Zoom to hold our Virtual Homecoming. It provides remote conferencing services that combine video conferencing, online meetings, chat and mobile collaboration.  The web browser client will download automatically when you start or join your first Zoom meeting, and is also available for manual download here. Make sure to plan an extra 15 minutes prior to your first session to check the technical set-up of your computer and get acquainted with our webinar and meeting software! If you cannot make it, we will send you a recording afterwards.

Please note: All Zoom meetings and webinars will be recorded and we will have waiting rooms prior to each session.
