Participant-Organized Talks

The Stanford Executive Program brings together unique and accomplished executives in a collaborative learning environment. You will have the opportunity to connect with each other inside and outside the classroom. We also have a GSB student tradition of student-organized talks. These talks take different shapes and can include in person and online options.

Here are a few examples:

• A personal talk: an opportunity to share your unique story and perspective related to where you are from, what matters most to you, or what drives you.

• An industry or topic focused talk: an opportunity to speak or organize a speaker from your industry or an industry or topic you are passionate about.

• A pitch session: an opportunity to organize class entrepreneurs and investors into an idea-pitching session.

• Big Name Speaker: an opportunity to bring a speaker to SEP who you would like your classmates to hear. During the academic year, the students organize the View From the Top speaker series.

If you would like to organize a talk, please email us at sep@gsb.stanford.edu.
