INSEAD, the Business School for the World’s North American branch, made its presence felt on February 8, when it hosted a whirlwind three-day conference at INSEAD’s San Francisco-based North American Hub. Reflecting the conference theme “The Future is Now: Bridging Business, Technology, and Humanity,” the high-level professional conference was also a celebration of San Francisco’s vibrant heritage.
The opening-day celebration began with a dynamic lion dance performance by Bay Area students, honoring the Hub’s cultural ties to its host city. Over the days that followed, attendees engaged in insightful discussions on subjects like AI and sustainability, connected with industry leaders and reaffirmed INSEAD’s dedication to responsible leadership with the Business Sustainability Awards. The event ended on a stylish note with a Casino Royale-themed soirée at the Hub’s Victory Hall, leaving a lasting memory of good times for everybody lucky enough to attend. In the five years since its founding, INSEAD’s SF Hub has hosted a wide range of programs, and has been the venue for high-impact industry events, fostering global partnerships while serving as a key gathering space.
