Attending the 2010 World Business Forum while still an undergraduate gave me the chance to step into the life of a global businessman seeking to improve his or her company strategy by analyzing the feasibility of various speakers' ideas on innovation, relationships, and creativity. I felt truly honored to be in a room with so many esteemed executives while still a student, and I really enjoyed the opportunity to hear from such well-known speakers on topics relevant to the business world today. I particularly enjoyed the presentations by Jim Collins on building greatness within a company, Jack Welch about employee incentive and reward, and Al Gore on the relationship between business and the environment.
I know that this conference gave me the valuable chance to see where pertinent issues can be applied to business at the company level before I even enter the job market.
