Abraham Joesph Attending 2023 CEO Global Conference

Attending the conference, despite not being a entrepreneurship major, was a phenomenal experience for me. I had the opportunity to connect with individuals who are passionate about their careers, goals, and ambitions, which left me feeling inspired. Talking to people from every age of life and different academic backgrounds helped me gain new perspectives. The keynote speakers also shared valuable insights that will aid me in kickstarting my own businesses. This conference and CEO club is an excellent opportunity for anyone, regardless of their major or business goals. It offers a chance to connect with growth-oriented students on campus and across the United States who possess a "can-do" attitude. Being around such individuals has truly transformed my mindset for the better, and I believe it can do the same for others.”
