Business Club Asset
The Business Club Asset will be responsible for organizing the yearly Business Night in April. The Business Night is one of Asset’s largest events, as well as being the grand opening of the Economic Business weeks Tilburg (EBT). The evening aims at broadening students’ vision by having inspiring speakers share their stories. With prominent speakers and leaders in their areas of expertise, the Business Night is a unique opportunity to go beyond academic knowledge and get inspired by their diverse experiences.
Besides the Business Night, Business Club Asset will also be responsible for organising the monthly Food for Thought sessions throughout the academic year. During these sessions, prominent speakers and leaders from the business, political and societal environment, will be interviewed about their areas of expertise. The Food for Thought sessions will consist of live/on campus sessions, as well as potential streamed interviews with the aforementioned guest speakers.
