Harvard & Ivy Circle @ the Kids Ernährungs Summit (KES)

The Harvard Club of Munich is pleased to announce a new event series, the Harvard-Ivy Circle alumni family events.

In response to conversations with alumni, we will be offering a few events a year on topics such as education trends, family nutrition and health. We will include group activities where like-minded families can exchange information and create community.

Our launch event is the “Harvard & Ivy Circle @ the Kids Ernährungs Summit (KES)”. The summit features talks by the most respected names in family nutrition in Germany. During the conference, we will have a designated 'Ivy Circle’ networking table so Harvard/Ivy attendees can meet and exchange experiences. If there is enough interest, we can also arrange a pre-conference exclusive Q&A with one of these nationally renown nutrition experts, in a separate room.

The Nutrition Summit experts include (among others): Dr. med. Vitor Gatinho (@kids.doc.de), Ann-Kathrin Ortmann (@annisbuntewelt), Dr. med. Nibras Naami (@handfussmund), Carolin Wiedmann (@plantpowerpediatrician), Prof. Dr. med. Kai Kolpatzik, Svenja Ostwald (@svenja.ostwald), Silvia Resei (@ergotipps) und Milka Loff Fernandes (@milkalofffernandes). Attendees will learn how nutrition in early life affects the body long-term, how to use AI for nutritional information, how parents shape eating habits, and how to simplify healthy food planning, etc.

This event is jointly organized by the Harvard Club of Munich, the Ivy Circle, and Harvard alumna, Jaclyn Schnau, CEO of Pumpkin Organics and organizer of the Kids Ernährungs Summit. To support this initiative, Pumpkin Organics has generously given us 10 free tickets and 50% off all succeeding tickets.
