OC Media Society

Old Cranleighan Technology, Media & Telecommunications (TMT) Society

The Old Cranleighan Media Society has evolved into the OC TMT Society, reflecting the increasingly interconnected worlds of Technology, Media and Telecommunications.

Our mission is to build a highly engaged community of Old Cranleighans working across these sectors – from startups to global corporates, and from early careers through to senior leadership.

What we do

The Society is focused on creating a genuinely useful and active network for OCs, with an emphasis on:

  • Networking – connecting OCs across the TMT ecosystem in an informal and collaborative environment
  • Careers & mentorship – supporting students and recent graduates with advice, introductions and opportunities
  • Business opportunities – facilitating partnerships, investment, hiring and knowledge-sharing within the OC network
  • Community – building a strong, long-term alumni network within one of the most dynamic areas of the global economy

Events & community

We are moving to a more active model, including:

  • Regular in-person events throughout the year, including talks, panels and social gatherings
  • A dedicated WhatsApp group to enable ongoing conversation, introductions and opportunities between events

This combination of physical and digital engagement is designed to make the Society far more useful on a day-to-day basis, not just at occasional meetups.

Get involved

We are actively growing the community and would encourage all OCs working in, or interested in, Technology, Media or Telecommunications to get involved.

The success of the Society depends on the participation of its members, and we are keen to build a collaborative, high-value network for everyone involved.
