CentraleSupélec Alumni - Association

What CentraleSupélec Alumni - Association does

CentraleSupélec Alumni is the official alumni association for graduates of CentraleSupélec and its predecessor schools (École Centrale Paris and Supélec), operating as an Association loi 1901 recognized as being of public utility since 1862. The association serves a distributed community of 45,000-55,000 members across 80+ countries, organized into 80+ thematic, regional, and international groups, and runs more than 500 events per year including career webinars, cultural events at Salle Gaveau, regional gatherings, and the annual CSummer Week and Garden Party en blanc. Its current president, Delphine Bazaud (ECP 98), was elected in June 2026, and operations are led day-to-day by Déléguée générale Géraldine Fonty.

The association's core product is the AlumnForce-powered digital platform, which provides a searchable member directory, a dedicated job board with a recruiter space (Pôle Carrières), event registration, group membership, and a dedicated iOS/Android mobile application. Members receive a lifetime @centraliens.net email forwarding address and access to mentorship, the Revue CentraleSupélec Alumni magazine, advertising-supported editorial, and continuing education services through CentraleSupélec Exed. The association extends its offering through sub-brands including the Cercle des Dirigeants (executive networking), the Commission Innovation and Solstice de l'Innovation (entrepreneurial support), Technovation Girls, and the Prix Félix awards program.

Revenue is generated through a diversified mix of annual membership dues across multiple tiers (graduate, young graduate, student, associate member, and group/corporate subscriptions), donations (the public-utility status habilitates bequests and gifts), magazine subscriptions and merchandise via the online boutique, paid event tickets, and advertising in the Revue and digital platforms. The go-to-market motion is community-led: acquisition occurs primarily through student onboarding during welcome events, word-of-mouth referrals within the engineering school ecosystem, and the natural annual inflow of new graduates from CentraleSupélec and CentraleSupélec Exed.
