Business Horizons 2023

The 40th year of Business Horizons was held July 16-20 at Drake University. Hosted annually each summer, students participate in valuable workshops led by industry professionals, interact and hear from dynamic speakers, and tour local businesses. Students were randomly separated into industry teams under the guidance of business professionals and tasked with identifying a real-world problem to collaboratively combat. Throughout the week, each team worked diligently to refine a product or service as basis for its new business venture. By the end of the program, teams devised investor presentations, infomercials, and competed in a trade show in front of live judging panels.
