Student Panel Discussion Founders Conference started off with a bang as six of our entrepreneurs taught basic principles of business and fielded questions from a packed house of students. BBQ Dinner The wind and the rain did not dampen the spirits of those who attended Thursday evening's outdoor barbeque hosted by the Livingstone's (although an umbrella became the accessory du jour). Breakfast Buffet, A Visit From MSM Dean Ned Hill, and Guest Introductions Conference guests welcomed the new day with a sumptuous breakfast buffet, greeted by the dean of the Marriott School and several new faces. Student/Founder Presentations Following a refreshing breakfast, Conference guests had the opportunity to enjoy presentations from successful student entrepreneurs, in addition to a few of our Founders who recently returned from serving missions abroad. Case Study Activity The Marriott School became a little shop of horrors as several Founders teamed up with students for a bit of "friendly competition" creating a marketing strategy designed to unleash a horde of carnivorous plants upon an unsuspecting populace. Spouse Luncheon While the men satisfied their creative and competitive urges, their spouses enjoyed a wonderful hour of testimony-sharing and strengthening faith. Are women truly more spiritually in-tune than men? Should we conclude the next Case Study Activity with the bearing of testimonies? Student Entrepreneur of the Year 2003 Five finalists in the Student Entrepreneur of the Year Competition presented their businesses for consideration. The concluding event of our Fall Founders Conference ended with an unexpected surprise, the first incident of its kind in SEOY's 11-year history.
