International Study Programs are thrilled to announce ”The Virtual Business and Networking FEST 2021”. We’re continuing to utilize the online world, keeping future global leaders and industry experts connected with this unique online conference.
A 3-day event for students and faculty members packed with networking opportunities, global discovery, knowledge sharing, and invigorating cultural sessions. We’ve brought together speakers from our vast network, so you can tap into an array of inspirational sessions with top industry minds who’ll be sharing their career and life stories. Here’s just a taste of what you’ll get to experience throughout the FEST, with the principal topic being “Business Practices in a Global Context”.
Hosted by Carey James, the US podcast maestro behind Failfighters, the FEST will be opened with a presentation from Swedish Innovation Leader, Joachim Rask. There’ll be keynote speeches from acclaimed author Stacey A. Gordon on workplace diversity, plus World Innovation Alliance CEO, Carlos Sentis, who’ll be aptly discussing solutions for global problems. Get a lesson on “how to own the room” from personal impact coach Jodi Goldman, and perfect the art of cross-cultural negotiation in an interactive session with Professor Andrew Hupert. Journalist and co-founder of Unsettled, Jonathan Kalan, will be discussing his concept of how to design a meaningful life and career through experimentation and exploration.
Gathering global experiences in business would not be complete without cultural insights from all over the world. Get into the swing of things on the first day with a caipirinha making masterclass, before winding down with a performance from renowned Columbian guitarist, Nilko Guarin. You’ll also learn the craft of the beverages that have kept businesses ticking along for centuries with a coffee workshop for budding baristas, plus a traditional Tokyo tea party with Lauren Shannon of Arigato Japan.
