This 4-day event is optimized for building those relationships among the attendees. The approximate program is:
Fri Jul 18 (Students away on excursion during day, with Final Jury Meeting of national coaches deciding medals that night): alumni arrive in Sunshine Coast during the morning and afternoon, while IMO 2025 contestants are away on an excursion, and while national coaches are busy in Coordination (agreeing on scores for their contestants’ papers). Alumni have a dedicated arrival area in the IMO contestant resort. Alumni will go together for dinner at a nearby restaurant. For the rest of the evening, alumni can explore the IMO site, taking care to never be alone with a contestant.
Sat Jul 19 (IMO 2025 Closing Ceremony): after having breakfast on their own, alumni are welcome to attend activities at the IMO contestant site, starting with lectures from 9am, lunch at mid-day, the Closing Ceremony at 4pm, and the closing party at 6pm.
Mon Jul 20 (Post-IMO excursion day 2): alumni spend the day on a Noosa national park tour. The reunion finishes with a group dinner back in the Sunshine Coast.
Sun Jul 21 (Post-IMO excursion day 1): alumni will gather at the conference room / outdoor space at the hotel that alumni are staying at Holiday Inn Express & Suites Sunshine Coast, and walk around to explore the area, possibly including the Point Cartwright lighthouse and the nature walk.
Tue Jul 22 (departure): alumni depart on their own, most likely either from Sunshine Coast airport or Brisbane airport.
