More than 1,000 alumni and their guests returned to South Kensington on 7 and 8 May for the Alumni Weekend at the Imperial Festival 2016.

In addition to joining in with the activies available at Imperial Festival, alumni and their guests also had access to the Alumni Zone, a base in which to relax, reconnect and reminisce throughout the weekend.

In between exploring a showcase of entrepreneurial alumni and posing in a science-themed photo booth, alumni contributed their stories, memories and photos to a memory wall - a celebration of everything that made Imperial special to them.

You can read some of their stories below. If you attended the Alumni Weekend or the Imperial Festival this year, please share your feedback by completing this short survey.

Save the date for next year’s Alumni Weekend at the Imperial Festival 2017 – taking place on 6 and 7 May 2017.
