Start-up Weekend in BCN: iWeekend (20.-22.11.09)

November 9, 2009

The worldwide phenomena of start-up weekends has reached Barcelona. iWeekend is taking place in Barcelona on the weekend of the 20th until the 22nd of November 2009. This event was mentioned in the entrepreneurship aggregator I posted a few days ago but I would like to emphasize this particular event a little further:

Start-up weekends are events for entrepreneurs, who meet over an entire weekend, with the goal to have developed a business concept by the end of the weekend. This is similar to an un-conference or user generated conference that leverages the drive, motivation and creativity of the users. On Sunday night hopefully the result is a start-up with like-minded people.

This is definitely worthwhile experiencing and you should check it out here! Happy creations!

That does sound pretty good.

ESADE Career Week

October 26, 2009

Today begins the long awaited ESADE Career Week. In the coming three days many companies are coming to the campus to recruit MBA students for internships (MBA class of 2011)  or full-time positions for those that graduate in March 2010. Many companies urged us students to apply prior to this career week so that the companies and recruiters can take advantage and conduct the interviews while here.

The following companies are coming to campus for recruitment:

  • Abbott
  • Accenture
  • AD Little
  • AT Kearney
  • Barclays
  • Barclays Capital
  • BCG
  • Bertelsmann
  • Celsa
  • Delta Partners
  • DPWN
  • DuPont
  • EBRD
  • Emerson
  • Europraxis
  • FSA
  • GE
  • ICRC
  • Morgan Stanley
  • Novartis
  • Roland Berger
  • Santander
  • Siemens
  • Syngenta
  • UNDP

This year the demand for certain company presentations has been so strong that ESADE has decided to provide live-streams of certain presentations. The cameras will be set-up in two rooms and all the presentations in those two rooms will streamed on the ESADE intranet. At least they will try to do that.

Now I wish everybody successful interviews and hopefully you all the find the job you want to do and the company you want to work for.  Today I will have my interview with Roland Berger Strategy Consultants so fingers crossed.

Room To Read – Twitter Partnership

October 13, 2009

I have been a fan of the NGO Room to Readfor a few years now and I think that the cause they are fighting for is the noblest of all:  Education. In my opinion when you provide education the world will become a better place. This is not philantrophic but illiteracy and lack of education is the origin of many problems. The NGO is stringently run with transparent accounting and minimal overhead at the same time. To find out more about “Room to Read” visit their website here.

The following is an invitation  that Room to Read invites to, which I would like to help them promote. The following content is provided by Room-to-Read:

Hello Room to Read supporters!

We’ve got a bit of a tweecret :)

While the details are still being kept under wraps, Room to Read and Twitter are embarking on a special partnership that will take place over the course of next year.

The specifics will be announced and celebrated on Thursday, October 15 just in time for Room to Read’s San Francisco Chapter benefit being held at the San Francisco War Memorial and Performing Arts Center, Green Room.

Additionally, Room to Read’s Austin Chapter will be hosting an event on the same night and will be celebrating the same news via video!

Details about both events are below as well as well as information on purchasing tickets. Given the news, both events will sell-out so be sure to get your ticket now. If you’re not in the area, be sure to forward on this message to your contacts in San Francisco and Austin!

Room to Read has gained over 100,000 followers since Twitter announced the partnership last month and added us to their suggested users list. Follow all our news @roomtoread and you can all follow founder John Wood at @JohnWoodRTR.

Many thanks,

The Room to Read Team

The ESADE Fun Regatta

October 12, 2009

The ESADE Fun Regatta is ON! On the 24th of October there will be a regatta with 40 feet boats in front of the Port Olympic, Barcelona. This regatta is aimed at people who like to sail but have not necessarily sailed a regatta before. Of course if you have sailed regattas before, then this event is also for you.

Each boat will fit a team of 7 plus a skipper supplied by the boat rental company. But he doesn’t need to be the skipper during the regatta, whatever his role it’s up to you and your team. He is just there for safety and to help bring the boats into port after the event. So quickly form up your team of 7 people and come and join us for a fun day of sailing.

We will start sailing at 11 and head into the sea. We will have some practice sailing so everybody gets familiar with the boats and then we will have two regattas. The best of both races will be the winner of the day.

The price of 460 Euros per boat also includes the skipper. As mentioned, you can fit up to 7 people in a boat (that would be a total of 8 including the skipper) so the price per person will be 66 Euros.

The schedule will be the following:
10:00 Arrival at the meeting point
10:30 Captain’s Meeting and boat distribution
11:00 We start heading out to sea
11:30 Sailing practice and team building (get your team ready for the regatta)
12:00 First Regatta
13:30 Second Regatta
14: 15 Boats head back to the dock
15:00 The event ends

Social Life of ESADE students

March 27, 2009

The first six months of the MBA course are said to be particularly hard and time consuming. However in order for the students not to suffocate of work, the students receive a weekly email proposing social activities, events and secret tips. That means that there is a great equilibrium between the work, student and social life. You just need to take advantage of. I am looking forward to trying it out!!!
