Host your own event
The Alumni Events Team are happy to help you organise online or face-to-face events to reconnect with friends and classmates or meet other alumni in your area.
We have designed the following resources to support you when planning to host your own event.
Reunion in a box
Request your reunion in a boxReunion in a Box is a free resource to support you in reconnecting with university pals, classmates, or Sports Club or Society members. Each box includes links to music playlists so you can enjoy the sounds of your studies at your event, alongside nostalgic University of Birmingham memorabilia in the form of an exclusive alumni reunion magnet, Old Joe beer mats, and games and quizzes!
Reunion in a Box can be used wherever you are based around the globe, whether you’re planning a small meet-up at a local pub or want to plan a visit to our Edgbaston campus. Request your Reunion in a Box and find more resources to support your Reunion.
You can also check the list of upcoming reunions already being planned by our alumni for classmates, year groups, friends, societies and sports teams. Make sure to let the Events Team know if you are running a reunion you would like to promote.
