EBF Conference
As the EBF Conference Executive Board, you are responsible for organising the EBF Conference: the largest two-day student conference in the Netherlands.
The event consists of two consecutive conference days, which will each have a different character. The first day will be the Bridge to Business: Held at the University of Groningen, this event focuses on practical skills, start-ups, and businesses in the North. It features a mix of talks by established entrepreneurs and workshops that provide tools you can immediately apply in your own path toward finding a suitable career. On the second day, the Conference Day, more than 300 students will be welcomed the main event brings together renowned speakers from the world of business and economics, delivering keynotes, motivational talks, and masterclasses. Gain valuable insight into how leaders navigate their careers, tackle everyday challenges, and turn them into tomorrow’s opportunities. In collaboration with this year’s conference partners, participants can also explore corporate life through workshops, recruitment activities, and a networking drink. Examples of previous speakers are Al Gore, former Vice President of the United States; Klaas Knot, President of the Dutch National Bank; Guy Wollaert, Senior Vice President of Coca Cola; Dolf van den Brink, CEO of The HEINEKEN Company; and Agnes Koops (Ceo PwC the Netherlands).
