Academic events
Opening Ceremony
The 36th STAR Management Week kicks off with an Opening Ceremony where various speakers will take us through their journey of being a student and becoming successful in their own way. With this year’s theme being “Explore, Pursue, Achieve.”, the speakers will talk about how they Explored their possibilities, Pursued their goals, and Achieved their dreams. The Opening Ceremony will end with a networking drink, where you have the opportunity to meet ambitious and enthusiastic students, as well as the attending speakers. Join us, and explore what possibilities lie ahead!
Honorary Discussions
This year we celebrate the 10th anniversary of our well-known Honorary Discussions. In a formal setting, various themes will be introduced by inspiring keynote speakers, followed by round table discussions where students and speakers will be able to ask questions, share their perspectives, and challenge each other. The Honorary Discussions are the perfect opportunity for speakers to learn students’ perspectives of various, relevant issues while sharing their own experiences. For students, the Honorary Discussions are a unique experience to interact with C-level executives in a small group setting. The event will end with a networking drink where you get the chance to further discuss the topics and network with all students and the attending honorary guests.
Visionary Talks
What makes a company “future-ready”? During the Visionary Talks, various speakers will get the opportunity to share their opinions and experiences on diverse subjects within the theme “The Future of Business”. During this talk show, students will be inspired and introduced to new visions by a diverse group of speakers. This event consists of two rounds where five guests will engage in discussions led by a host. Students will have the opportunity to ask questions regarding those topics and challenge the attending speakers with their own perspectives and knowledge. The Visionary Talks will end with a networking drink, where you can socialize and network with students and attending speakers.
