For undegraduate students who might be interested in attending the SABF to be held in Buenos Aires, Argentina from 4-6 August 2006.

The event was born from the initiative of a group of Engineering Students at ITBA (Buenos Aires Institute of Technology), and it is the first Student-run Business Forum in South America. Held annually -each year under a distinctive theme-, the goal of the South American Business Forum (SABF) is to unite present and future leaders, regardless of generations and nationalities. The Forum creates a platform that encourages debate and the sharing of ideas, pursuing the
sustainable development of the world from South America.

The Forum takes place in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and consists of three days (August 4th, 5th and 6th) of dialogue and workshops where students from all around the world have the chance to exchange ideas and create solutions to the challenges of the present and the future. The main topic for this year’s edition is "Politics and Social Responsibility in a Globalized World". In order to achieve a wide vision of the subject, we are contacting speakers from different areas of society, as well as the most talented students from Argentina, South-America and the rest of the world.

The deadline for applications is on May 7th, and students from any career and University are welcome to participate sending us their contributions and thoughts on the topic in the form of an essay. For further details, visit their website: www.sabf.org.ar
