Princeton’s Business Today is an independent, student-run non-profit founded by Steve Forbes when he was a Princeton undergrad with the goal of bridging the communication gap between business leaders and college students. Business Today conducts forums for student-executive interaction through four programs: three Conferences per year, the Magazine, the Seminar Series, and the recently-established Online Journal.
Another of their most well-known events, an annual Texas Conference, is coming up this February (18-19) and they are looking for more students from Bucknell this year to attend. For the attendees, it’s an all-expense paid 2-day event held at the Hilton Anatole in Dallas, with keynote addresses, seminars and a Business Plan Competition by the leaders of Fortune 500 companies. This year speakers from Halliburton and Sabre Holdings (Travelocity) will deliver Keynote addresses, and executives from companies such as Southwest, GDF Suez, Mary Kay, and DHI Financial will deliver executive seminars.
