The 2024 Euroflock will be the fourth gathering of Sillimanians in Europe. Alumni coming from the US, Australia, Philippines, and other parts of the world have made participating in the Euroflock part of their holiday calendar.

The 1st Euroflock was held in Berlin, Germany in 2014. After its success, two years later in 2016, it was held in Dublin, Ireland with Dr. Noel Jereza as the event organizer. The 3rd Euroflock was spearheaded by Grace Ada Genge of SUAAFE-GABS in Lucerne, Switzerland in 2018.

Two Euroflock gatherings scheduled in Newcastle upon Tyne in northeast England on September 11-14, 2020 and in Luxembourg on May 4-8, 2022 were both cancelled due to travel restrictions brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic.
