JA Global Alumni Conference 2019

More than 400 Alumni from around the world gathered this August in Vienna to celebrate 100 years of Junior Achievement and the first ever JA Global Alumni Conference. The conference took place around the campus of the world-renowned Vienna University of business and economics. A place filled with young international students and future entrepreneurs. A place that for 4 days will became the center of the global JA spirit - the JA Village.

The JA Village wasbuilt around our three main topics innovation, communication and risk taking as well as the unifying spirit of Junior Achievement Alumni visiting from all over the world. It was set up in Viennas renowed University of Economics (WU) and the beautiful green gardens surrounding it.

All 400 lucky attendees “JA Village citizens” got to enjoy keynotes by e.g. Florian Gschwandtner (Runtastic), Cameron Sinclair (AirBnB), Anna Ruch (Former White House Press Photographer), Richa Menke (Eight Inc.), Ali Mahlodji and many more. Besides emotional keynotes the content offered them workshops and masterclasses which where all limited for a low number of attendees.
