No sé en que pensé cuando elegí este título, pero la verdad es que si el tiempo es lo que considero que más vale para una persona, “4 años y 1/2″ es algo no grande, enorme. ¿Cuántas cosas suceden en un año? ¿Y en 4 y 1/2? ¿Cuánto uno crece? Mas aún si uno se pone a pensar en cuando tenemos veintipico, en 4 años y 1/2 toda nuestra vida puede cambiar.
A nuestra edad, después de 4 años y 1/2 las personas se reciben, elijen su primer trabajo, o quizá conocen a su futura esposa, y esto tiene un gran valor porque empezamos a tomar decisiones importantes por nosotros mismos. Recuerdo que en Marzo de 2006 nos reunimos con el equipo organizador del ‘05, y de los 12 que nos juntamos, una vivía en Holanda, otro estaba de intercambio en USA, otro se había cambiado de universidad, otro se había casado, y podría seguir enumerando. Todo esto sucedió en menos de un año! Me gustaría preguntarles cuales fueron las decisiones que tomaron después de 4 veces ese tiempo.
Hace 4 años y 1/2 Agustín e Yvonne proyectaron una conferencia internacional de negocios para estudiantes, algo impensable para ser realizado por jóvenes estudiantes de una universidad de ingeniería. Hoy, 3 años y medio después de la primer conferencia el SABF es una realidad, al igual que este blog. ¿Qué era un blog hace 4 años y 1/2? Un blog es esto que están leyendo ahora.
Como lo hicimos hace “4 años y 1/2″, les deseamos lo mejor a los organizadores del SABF ‘08 con este nuevo proyecto!

More often than not, our economy-founded countries try to find new or more resources wherever possible. We design our lives to cope with great aspirations and seek for the most profitable business deals or to be hired by the gold-paying multinational. However, we cannot seem to find our way through this globalized world, and as time elapses, nothing seems to meet up to our expectations and our dreams vanish into thin air as we settle with an ordinary job at some local company. All the time, we seem blind to the possibility of taking something of our own knowledge and experience and for once playing the role we want to. Each from its own place and with its own dreams is capable of reaching whatever he or she wishes to. We must not set a limit to what has none, the human mind.

We invite you all to participate in the 38 th St. Gallen Symposium, which is held from the 15-17 May 2008 at the University of St. Gallen. Every year, the International Students’ Committee (ISC) offers university students throughout the world the unique opportunity to take part in the St. Gallen Symposium. Students enter into a challenging exchange of ideas with today’s global leaders about the pressing economic and societal questions of our time.
The closing date is 2 February 2008. Up to this date, talented students from all over the world are invited to hand in their contribution, dealing with the main topic of this year “Global Capitalism - Local Values”.

Si hay algo de lo que estoy seguro es que haber sido participante de la tercera edición del South American Business Forum fue una de las experiencias más enriquecedoras y motivantes que he vivido en estos últimos años. Si bien en un principio cierto escepticismo me jugaba en contra a la hora de escribir “el” ensayo, esos tres días en agosto fueron más que suficientes para convencerme de que había tomado la decisión correcta. Es allí donde uno termina de comprender la “esencia” del SABF.

The registration period for the fourth edition of the SABF has started, that is why we invite all students to participate in this unique experience in South America.
The event will take place on August 8th, 9th and 10th in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and is aimed at all undergraduate students, having completed their secondary education, or students who graduated in 2007 or 2008. The topic of the 2008 SABF, “Empowering Agents of Change”, pretends to analyze the existing change agents in the world and particularly those which have become blurred in South America, with the objective of finding out the causes of their lack of involvement and finding solutions to achieve their goals.
During the three-day conference, students will be able to interact with peers from around the world, as well as with prominent leaders of the academic, business and political spheres, debating about several current issues related to our region. It is, furthermore, a unique experience in which the cultural exchange that is generated adds to the personal and professional development of the participants.

Hello everyone, I would like to welcome you all to the SABF Blog, which is, with this message, officially opened.

It is organized by a team made of 16 students of ITBA, aiming to contribute to the development of South America by means of dialogue and action.
