FACE 2026 | Different disciplines. Diverse perspectives. One IITK community. What happens when faculty, alumni, researchers, and thought leaders come together not simply to share what they know, but to discover what they can create together? That was the spirit of FACE 2026 – Faculty Alumni Collaborative Endeavour. Under the theme “The IITK Convergence: Connecting Disciplines, Compounding Impact,” diverse minds came together across the Future of Medicine, Deep Tech Innovations, and AI & Cybersecurity. Beyond the sessions, it was the conversations between them, new connections, shared experiences, unexpected intersections, and ideas that could travel far beyond the room. FACE is about bringing the IIT Kanpur community together through knowledge, collaboration, and a shared desire to create greater impact. Here’s to the conversations that continue long after the event ends. #FACE2026 #IITKanpur #TheIITKConvergence #ConnectingDisciplines #CompoundingImpact #IITKanpurAlumni #FacultyAlumniCollaboration

Another stop. More stories. The IITK community keeps growing. 🇺🇸 From Washington, D.C., the IITKarvaan travelled north to New York and New Jersey, bringing together alumni for an evening filled with conversations, memories and the unmistakable IITK spirit. With the IIT Kanpur leadership and alumni community coming together, the evening was a celebration of the connections that continue to bring IITK alumni closer, wherever their journeys may take them. From catching up with old friends to meeting fellow alumni and exchanging new ideas, every conversation added another chapter to the Karvaan. A special highlight was the keynote by Ms. Chandrika Krishnamurthy Tandon, whose journey and perspectives added to an inspiring evening for the IITK community. Two more stops. Countless connections. One IITK community. And now, the Karvaan moves on to Chicago. #IITKarvaan #IITKarvaan2026 #IITKanpur #IITKAlumni #IITKCommunity #IITKUSA #NewYork #NewJersey #AlumniNetwork #TheKarvaanContinues
