The FINANCIAL — 350 MBA students from 18 top business schools worldwide will gather in Italy 18-21 Sept. to race the MBA Cup regatta organised by SDA Bocconi school of management.
Eight teams from North America, nine from Europe and one from Mexico will come together September 18- 21 to race in the fifth edition of the MBA’s Cup, the yearly regatta for MBA students organised by the Sailing Club of SDA Bocconi school of management, in partnership with the prestigious Yacht Club Italiano, and held in Santa Margherita Ligure and Portofino on the Mediterranean coast near Genoa.
Around 350 MBA students from world renowned business schools such as Insead (France), IESE (Spain), Wharton (US) and Harvard (US) among others will take part in this exciting event. The schools, some competing with two boats each, will be out to seize the cup from last year’s winner Tuck Business School (US). Aside from the outcome itself, sailing in crews is also important for students to develop their leadership and team-building skills.
The event also represents something more for participants – the opportunity for students and alumni to network among themselves and to meet with executives from key business and management institutions. Alongside the regatta, SDA Bocconi has also organised an international business conference that will feature presentations by keynote speakers Emma Marcegaglia, President Confindustria, the Italian industrialists association, Pietro Guindani, President Vodafone Italia, and Andrea Castronovo, CEO BMW Italia, on the theme ‘Brand values’. Sponsors of the regatta include Vodafone, Deloitte and BMW.
