Who?
Impulse Network
The Impulse Network is a student-driven, not-for-profit movement founded to create impulses for change in the sports industry. Out of St. Gallen, we are committed to connecting political, business, cultural, and other leaders of society to drive change on a global and regional level. Furthermore, we aim to help and prepare young talents for a career in the sports industry by building awareness of this profession and offering a wide range of initiatives, networking events, and resources in collaboration with leading firms in the sports business.
Our flagship event, the Impulse Summit, is organized by our yearly student team, organizing and carrying full responsibility for the event but also embarking on a yearly team journey filled with opportunities for personal development and career development.
Alumni Network
To secure the long-term involvement of our members, an extensive Alumni network exists with networking opportunities for team alumni and other participants of our events.
