The Elevate Experience

The Columbia Business School Black Business Student Association’s Elevate Conference is a forum for executives, industry leaders, and innovators to share their career journeys and personal perspectives through thought provoking dialogue to inspire the next generation of business leaders.

Throughout the event, we will be highlighting Black trailblazers and thought leaders who carved their own paths, and reimagined, reshaped, and revolutionized the business landscape.
