Business Week 2027 - THINK GLOBAL. ACT LOCAL. LEAD WITH PURPOSE will take place from Monday, April 12 - Thursday, April 15.
Business Week is more than a series of events… It’s an immersive experience designed to help you connect what you’re learning in the classroom to the world you’re preparing to enter. The 2027 Business Week theme will be THINK GLOBAL. ACT LOCAL. LEAD WITH PURPOSE.
Where Flagler students don't just imagine the future... they build it.
Throughout the week, you’ll have opportunities to explore real-world challenges, learn directly from professionals and alumni, and practice the skills that matter most after graduation. From networking and career preparation to idea building and pitching, Business Week is designed to help you move from curiosity to confidence. This year's title sponsor is Rulon International.
What makes Business Week different:
- Learning by doing: Engage in hands-on sessions that challenge you to think critically, collaborate, and apply your ideas.
- Real connections: Meet alumni, employers, and mentors who want to share insights - and open doors.
- Support at every stage: Whether you’re testing your first idea or refining a polished pitch, there’s space to grow.
- Momentum you can feel: Each event builds toward helping you see what’s possible - and how to get there.
Business Week is designed for every School of Business student, no matter where you’re starting. Come curious. Leave more confident.
