Starting today, registration is open for the 8th edition of the South American Business Forum under the topic “Global Objectives, Collaborative Actions.” The forum will be held on the 3rd, 4th and 5th August in the city of Buenos Aires. To be one of the 100 participants in this new edition you must complete your application before May 6 at 23:59 UTC-3:00.
This year, instead of 3 separate subtopics to develop, there will be 3 different approaches to the same subject. Each one of those intends to reflect on the theme from a different point of view: personal, organizational and regional levels.The titles of these three approaches are “Our Role as Networked Individuals”, “Organizations: Catching-up with paradigms” and ”Revisiting Concepts: Governments and Regions” respectively.
The main step is to write an application essay of between 1200 and 1800 words. An independent jury made of professionals will evaluate this essay and will choose the top 100 essays to take part in this 8th edition of SABF in Buenos Aires.
Hope to see you all to share new experiences and wish you good luck in the application process. For any other questions please remember that you can write to students@sabf.org.ar.
I do not really understand what the essay should be about. Should we also consider the titles of the three approaches?
Emilia, you can choose to write about what you want. You can write about one of the three approaches or write more generally about the central theme. If you have more questions you can write to students@sabf.org.ar and someone will be able to answer to you.
I am above the age bracket and student in graduate student in my country. I would like to have this experience in the international arena. Can I be part of this?
Unfortunately, only students who fall within the mentioned age range can take part in the forum.
We understand that some people may feel left out as a consequence of this decision, but we have repeatedly been proven that the dynamics at play with younger people are very sensitive to this range of ages.
With that said, I encourage you to participate in our blog discussion as we will have some very interesting articles coming up in the next weeks.
