Business students from Argentina organize international conference, invite UAA student applicants

Application period: Jan. 20-May 9

The students of University of Alaska Anchorage are invited to be part of the sixth edition of the South American Business Forum (SABF). This is a forum organized entirely by students of Instituto Tecnológico de Buenos Aires (ITBA), which annually takes place in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The event consists in gathering 100 of the finest university students from all around the world -- no matter their chosen course of studies -- and 40 prominent international leaders from different areas during Aug. 6-8, 2010. The idea is to generate a debate and an exchange of ideas concerning several South American issues.

To attend this event, students must write an essay making reference to this year's main theme: "Boosting Our Actions in the New Decade." Successful students will be selected by an independent jury, composed by professors, business leaders and journalists.

Applications can be sent in from Jan. 20 until May 9.
 This is an excellent opportunity for students to participate in an event where they will be in contact with present leaders of the institutional, business, political, economic and academic areas, as well as with students from around the world.

This will promote an enriching dialogue and generate ideas that may contribute directly to the sustainable development of the region. Moreover, it is an experience in which the cultural exchange contributes to the students' personal and professional growth.
 
During the previous editions of the SABF, we have had participants from other universities, such as Harvard University, London School of Economics and Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, among others. This year, we are willing to keep the same level of excellence and this is why we would like to invite you to be part of the event.
