As keynote speaker of the evening, Professor Dr. Jens Wüstemann, President of Mannheim Business School, welcomed Antonio Schnieder, Chairman of the Supervisory Board, Capgemini Deutschland GmbH, President of the Association of German Management Consultants (BDU), whose candid speech on "Economic development and consequences for consulting" was highly topical and sparked a lively question & answer session.

Professor Wüstemann also announced the recipients of the newly launched MBS Alumni Commitment Award, introduced this year to formally recognize the great contribution our alumni make towards the advancement of the school and the MBS Network.

To honor their tireless commitment in building and growing the Swiss Alumni Chapter, the inaugural award went to Sandra Trittin, Mannheim MBA Class 2009, and Boris Frenzel, ESSEC & MANNHEIM Modular EMBA Class 2011.
