2023 International Conference Attendee Reflections

January 4, 2024 Business Today

The 3-day conference was truly jam-packed with insights! I love the various keynotes and panels that covered a wide range of industries and topics such as the AI industry and the pharmaceutical industry, giving me the opportunity to have a holistic view of the business landscape today. At the same time, the executive seminars were extremely complementary as we had the rare opportunity to have intimate small group sessions with executives from specific industries that we indicated our interest in. The small group size made it easy for me to ask questions, allowing me to significantly increase my understanding in these areas of interest. Last but not least, another great takeaway would be the other bright and inspiring students that I’ve met! I was entirely blown away during the impact challenge. The level of creativity and execution by the student teams in their start-up ideas really inspired me to take more action in pursuing my passions and ideas too.

From captivating keynote speakers to thought-provoking panel discussions, BT IC 2023 was a game-changer for understanding the future of global business. The theme, “Beyond the Horizon,” sparked conversations that challenged perspectives and inspired innovative thinking. Attending executive seminars and networking with peers and industry leaders broadened my understanding of the dynamic business landscape. The recruiting reception was a fantastic opportunity to explore career options and connect with top companies, while the seed-funding competition fueled entrepreneurial spirits. What stood out was the inclusivity of the conference, welcoming both domestic and international undergraduate students. The virtual format seamlessly connected us worldwide, ensuring everyone could engage with leading executives.
