École Internationale de Genève · La Grande Boissière
One hundred and thirty-seven of us walked out of LGB in May 2006 and scattered across eighty countries. On Saturday 8 August 2026, in Geneva, we come back.
From the 2006 yearbook
“We should plan something, where we decide on a week that we all come back to Geneva, and we’ll sit in the pubs again like we used to.”
— Nick Hall, LGB yearbook, 2006
Twenty years later, here we are.
Already in
— of us have said yes so far — recognise a face? That's your cue.
The evening
Adults only on the 8th — a +1, not a +2, +3 or +4. Kids get the Sunday: a long, slow BBQ by the lake, families welcome.
17:00 walk around La Grande Boissière (now confirmed), then Flanagan's from 19:00.
Cocktail dinner on Chez Philippe's privatised summer terrace, Geneva.
Bring your own, bring your kids. Slow morning, long afternoon.
Organised by
Reunions don't organise themselves. These three have spent months on it — the date, the venue hunt, the hundred and twenty people who needed asking twice.
With help from Ally Belfry, Michel Kull, Julie Gros Bozzo, Vincent Mossaz, Tudor Leriu, Emily Laven Griffiths and Camil Touimi — who found the numbers, the photos, and the people nobody could place.
Beyond the night
Doctors, founders, teachers, engineers, diplomats, parents — across eighty countries and a dozen languages. This site doesn't close on the 9th of August. It's where the class stays reachable: a directory, a board of offers and asks, and a cause we choose together.
7 — 9 August 2026 · Geneva
The 8th is the reason. Everything around it exists because people are flying a long way, and one dinner is a thin excuse for a transatlantic flight.
Saturday 8 August · the main event
Plot twist — and a good one: the evening has moved to Chez Philippe, the legendary grill tucked into the Passage des Lions, just off Rue du Rhône. We've privatised our own corner of their first-floor summer terrace — white tables, greenery and open sky, hidden away from the traffic. Same date, same time, same CHF 120 — nicer space, and this one is properly ours.
In your ticket
A Prosecco to start, then three Geneva wines — four glasses in all, not an open bar
Not drinking? The same four, in mocktails of your choice
A generous run of the chef's cocktail pieces — warm and cold bites, verrines and sweet things, passed and set out all evening
The terrace corner to ourselves — a standing cocktail dinner, made for moving around and actually talking
The space
The 40-seat side of the summer terrace, fully privatised — ours and only ours for the night
Rain? No drama — an electric roof glides shut over our heads. Same tables, same party, everyone stays dry
Two minutes from the lake and the old town — the night can keep going after the last glass
Still CHF 120 — nothing changes but the address
Your ticket covers the food, the four glasses and the privatised terrace, exactly as before. Already bought yours? It carries over automatically — nothing to do.
Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free are all easy. One thing we need from every guest: your choice of wine or mocktails, and any allergies or intolerances — so the kitchen can look after you properly.
Wine or mocktails? Allergies? Tell us here →A walk through campus, a coffee for the Sunday stragglers, a late one for those who never learned. Propose it — an organiser publishes it, and it appears here with its own RSVP.
The archive
Emily has a hard drive. Camil has boxes. Tudor volunteered to host the lot. Put them here instead — one place, full resolution, nobody's phone compressing them into mush.
In our own words
The quotes we chose when we left — copied straight from the graduation yearbook.
Guess who
A baby photo from the yearbook, one at a time. Guess the classmate — then reveal. Add yours to grow the game.
Where everyone landed
Eighty countries, and most of us have no idea where the others ended up. These are the ones we've placed so far — claim your ticket and fill in your own.
On the map
What we can do for each other
A hundred and thirty-seven people with twenty years of careers, contacts and spare rooms between them. Ask plainly. Offer plainly. Nobody here is a stranger.
Giving back
We were given an education most of the world doesn't get. Before August we pick one cause, as a class, and put something real behind it. Propose one; we vote in July. Donations go directly to the charity — this site never touches money.
In memoriam
If this page is hard to read — and for some of us it will be — you don't have to sit with it alone. In Switzerland: La Main Tendue, 143, day or night. Elsewhere: findahelpline.com.
Saturday 8 August · Chez Philippe
Thirty seconds, once per guest. The restaurant pours for us and the kitchen cooks for us — so tell us what goes in your glass, and anything you can't (or won't) eat. If we don't hear from you by Thursday 6 August, we'll take it as: wine is welcome, nothing to flag.
Bringing a +1? Their name goes on the door list — and they get a glass too.
Only the organisers and the restaurant see this.
Thirty seconds
This is the ticket to the cocktail dinner at Chez Philippe, Geneva — Saturday 08.08.2026, 19:30, on the privatised summer terrace — Passage des Lions, Rue du Rhône 8. CHF 120 per ticket covers the whole evening — a glass of Prosecco and three glasses of wine per person (not an open bar), a generous spread of the grill's savoury and sweet bites, and our own corner of the terrace, with an electric roof on standby for rainy plot twists. It's a standing cocktail dinner, not a sit-down — you move around all night. Mocktails for the non-drinkers. Bringing a +1? Take two tickets, and pop their name in the dinner form. Your ticket is confirmed the moment you pay.

Sunday · lake BBQ
Bring the family — and bring enough to share, for about three people, so there's plenty for everyone. Add what you'll bring (so we don't end up with twelve potato salads and no dessert) and see what's already covered.
Private to you
The soundtrack
The tracks that owned 2004–2006 — the common room, the formal, someone's car with the windows down. Add yours, and we'll play them all weekend.
Live · the weekend
Snapping something this weekend? Drop it straight here — Friday to Sunday, as it happens. Everyone sees it, full quality, classmates only.
For those who can't make it
Can't be in Geneva on the 8th? You're still one of us. Leave a photo and a few words — a memory, a hello, a wish — and we'll put it up on the big screen at the party, so you're in the room with us.
For the big screen · organisers
Point a projector or a big TV at this, hit fullscreen, and let it run all night — messages from classmates who couldn't make it, and the live photos from the party, on a loop.
Break the ice
Twenty years is a lot of catching up. Here's your excuse to walk up to anyone in the room: find a classmate for each square, cross it off, and get a line of three for a toast. Tap Shuffle for a fresh card — no two are quite the same.
