Peermate Alumni Event 2026

Four people casually chat about personal development in a bright office corridor by large windows. Two sit on a ledge, one stands with a phone, and another holds a coffee cup. They appear relaxed and engaged in conversation.

One day to reconnect
This gathering brings together the people who made your last Peermate experience special: those who challenged your thinking, opened new doors, and reminded you what’s possible when the right people meet.

It’s one day — just for alumni. With space to deepen old bonds, spark new ones, and spend time in good company.
Industry-specific deep dives. Unexpected crossovers. And an evening that feels more like a reunion than a conference.

Get a Reminder

Let’s skip the small talk

Ever had a conversation at a Peermate event that stuck with you long after it ended? This Alumni Gathering is your chance to build on exactly those moments.

Reconnect with peers from past events and meet others who’ve walked a similar path, just in a different industry.
You’ll exchange ideas in small, focused groups, get inspired by fresh angles, and maybe even unlock the answer to a challenge that’s been on your mind for months.

This is your space to share, reflect, and grow together — beyond business cards and job titles.

The Peermate Method

This is not just another networking event. Here’s what’s different.

Meet the right people

You’ve already built trust. This is where you take it further – with peers who’ve been there, and are ready for what’s next.

Go beyond the catch-up

Forget small talk. This format gives you the space to reflect, challenge, and co-create in sessions that actually go somewhere.

Keep the momentum

This isn’t a one-day spark. What starts here flows right back into your work and the alumni network that keeps growing with you.
