About Cocktails with Dr. Pride

Cocktails with Dr. Pride

Town + Gown = Ideas • Partnerships • Impact

A monthly conversation platform where universities meet industry, government, and society to exchange ideas, forge partnerships, and shape impact-driven solutions.

What is Cocktails with Dr. Pride?

Cocktails with Dr. Pride is more than a dialogue, it is a bridge. Each session blends fireside conversations, mini-masterclasses, and Questions & Answers, creating a practical forum for universities, researchers, entrepreneurs, business executives, and policymakers.

The goal is simple: to bring Town and Gown together, highlight fresh ideas, spark meaningful partnerships, and generate real impact in higher education and beyond.

The Gown

Vice-Chancellors, Registrars, Deans, Directors of ICT/PR/Alumni, researchers, and student leaders who shape institutional strategy.

The Town

Business leaders, bankers, telecom executives, educational technology innovators, consultants, regulatory authorities, policy makers, development partners, and donors.

The Value

Exclusive access to fresh ideas, curated networking, and practical insights participants can apply immediately within their organisations or institutions.

How It Works

  • Live online sessions (monthly, 60–90 minutes)
  • Fireside chat + mini-masterclass + audience Q&A
  • Special editions on sector spotlights, student townhalls
  • Each session ends with 2–3 actionable “next moves” participants can apply immediately
