Business Today’s 50th International Conference will bring together a diverse group of business-oriented undergraduates from across the world for an all-expenses-paid conference in Manhattan this November 8th through 10th, 2024.
In accordance with this year's theme "Renaissance," attendees will meet with top executives and business leaders to explore how they are disrupting the norm and innovating for better in the face of rapid digitization, ESG, and social trends. They will be exposed to diverse viewpoints through keynotes and panels and provided with interactive, hands-on opportunities through seminars and workshops to engage directly with executives from leading businesses. Past keynotes have included Steve Forbes (CEO, Forbes Magazine), Muhtar Kent (Former CEO of Coca-Cola), Wendy Kopp (CEO and Co-Founder of Teach For All), and Jane Fraser (CEO, Citigroup).
The application deadlines are below. Applicants are selected on a rolling basis, so applying as early as possible is recommended. International students are STRONGLY encouraged to apply in the 1st and 2nd rounds and will have decreased chances of being considered in later rounds. **Follow @ic.businesstoday on Instagram for application updates!**
