The SABF is an event that takes place annually in Buenos Aires for 3 days in the month of August. Each year the forum receives 100 outstanding university students from around the world, together with 40 leaders of business, political and academic areas. The topic of the 2008 SABF, "Empowering Agents of Change", pretends to analyze the existing change agents in the world and particularly those which have become blurred in South America, with the objective of finding out the causes of their lack of involvement and finding solutions to achieve their goals.

During the three-day conference, students will be able to interact with peers from around the world, as well as with prominent leaders of the academic, business and political spheres, debating about several current issues related to our region. It is, furthermore, a unique experience in which the cultural exchange that is generated adds to the personal and professional formation of the participants.

To apply, students must enter here: http://apply.sabf.org.ar. There, they must complete their personal information and load a text of their authorship about one of the three topics that emerge from the central theme: "Institutions as the foundations for a favorable environment", "Entrepreneurial Cultures: their impact on emerging regions" and "The intelligent use of resources as a means of development".

The applications are due on May 11th, after that date, an independent jury will select the 100 best presentations to attend the event. If you have any doubt, please get in touch with us at: This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .
