The conference included workshops and speeches by keynote speakers, providing valuable learning and networking opportunities for the attendees.

These initiatives, which encompass a full marketing cycle, support the students’ ambitions to participate in state, national, and international business events.
The funds raised will help cover expenses for their upcoming business trip to Italy and Greece, marking the chapter’s first international venture.
