Business Today has shifted all our previously in-person events to virtual formats. We are taking this opportunity to grow the audience of our programs significantly, thus greatly increasing the impact of our content.
A digital-focused world requires new ways to convey the experiences of the executives whom Business Today hears from. We are continually looking for ways to improve the technology and methodology we use to achieve our mission.

Our Programs
International Conference
The International Conference brings together hundreds of top students from around the world to spark the curiosity of and create dialogue between future business leaders. This year’s conference in New York City will bring together 150 attendees from Princeton and other universities across the world. The theme is BEYOND THE HORIZON, challenging both today’s leaders and tomorrow’s to look forward and reimagine business as a tool of innovation.
Design Nation
The Design Nation Conference aims to bridge the gap between the growing awareness and application of design in our world and the stagnation of deeper design education in colleges nationwide. This year, the theme is REFLECTION, focusing on design evolution, growth & learning, and ethical considerations that lie at the intersection of business and design.
Content
Business Today was founded by Steve Forbes as a magazine in 1968, and content remains an integral part of Business Today’s programs. We still maintain an annual magazine, but since the future of content is digital, we are investing significant resources into our Online Journal. All our content is fully student-written and student-designed and we are continuing to innovate the forms our content takes and diversify the topics and executives we feature to cater to the entire Business Today community. Recently, we launched our first podcast, the newest component of our media repertoire.
Seminar Series
The Seminar Series invites prominent executives to speak with students, either through on-campus seminars or webinars. Business Today’s on-campus seminars bring speakers to Princeton to connect with our own student body. We used that experience to launch webinars this spring, giving business leaders a virtual platform with a selective global audience.
