Description

BusinessMe is a non-profit organization aiming to give students an opportunity to learn about and experience entrepreneurship themselves. We do this by organizing an annual business conference where participants create a business idea, develop it, then pitch it to a jury of professional and experienced individuals. The event also includes professional mentors and a panel discussion along with workshops designed to teach certain aspects and elements of entrepreneurship.

BusinessMe is currently organizing its' second annual international business conference, and are looking for ambitious students that are anxious to take on the challenge! You can expect the following and more at BusinessMe's second international business conference: team-building, pitching, expert speakers (panel discussion), awards, food (breakfast + lunch included in ticket) and endless possibilities for networking.

Each work day begins with a breakfast served at 9:00. Breakfast lasts 30 minutes and teamwork begins officially at 9:30.

On Friday, the day is full of team building and idea developing from the team's very own business idea. They will first bond as a team and decide each other's roles in the business team. From there, teams will go on to create an idea for a product or service that relates to this year's theme "SUSTAINABILITY". Teams will develop their ideas further using a marketing chart used to lead last year's winning team to success! Mentors will enter each workroom giving an individual word of advice to each team from their experiences as coaches at last year's conference. Friday is a day full of hard work and creativity, so a positive attitude is definitely vital. Work day ends officially at 17:00, but teams are more than welcome to work for as long as needed. There will be a "social hour" held after the end of the work day, giving all participants from all teams, as well as coaches and mentors, the opportunity to unwind and network.

Saturday is another important day of work, with further idea development within teams, and beginning to prepare for Sunday's pitching. Pitches will be rehearsed, presentations will be prepared, and panel discussions will be held in the afternoon with speakers coming from around the country to share their real experiences, answer questions, and give advice to future entrepreneurs entering the modern business world. The day wraps up with our celebration night in another location with snacks and drinks available to all.

Our final day begins with 2,5 hours allowed for teams to make the finishing touches on their pitches and prepare together to face the jury. teams will be split into groups, each taking their limited time to pitch their idea to the judges as best as possible. Pitches will be livestreamed, and other teams that are otherwise prepared will have the ability to watch the livestream. After all teams have pitched, judges will deliberate for a short time before giving awards to the winning teams, and the closing ceremony begins.
