Signature Events

The Gen Z Conference stands as a flagship event at HIM, rooted in faculty-led research that leverages the diversity of our student body – representing over 50 nationalities. This research explores Generation Z’s consumer behavior, work ethics, expectations, and leadership potential. Building on these insights, students take the initiative to organize and manage the conference, inviting industry professionals to participate in roundtables and discussions. This hands-on approach empowers students to turn research into action, develop event management skills, and foster meaningful industry connections.

Our annual Industry-Academic Symposium brings together faculty, students, and industry leaders to focus on key business areas such as Human Resources, Marketing, Innovation, Accounting, Finance, and Sustainability. The primary goal of this symposium is to review and refine our curriculum, ensuring it reflects the hard and soft skills most in demand in today’s rapidly changing business landscape. Through collaboration and open dialogue, the symposium ensures that HIM students are equipped with the skills and knowledge needed to excel upon graduation, keeping our programs closely aligned with industry needs.

Every March, HIM proudly celebrates International Women’s Day as a signature event on campus. This day is dedicated to recognizing and empowering the women in our community, and to inspiring all students to become advocates for equality and positive change. The event features an engaging program of talks and networking opportunities where students, faculty, and guest speakers come together to share stories, discuss challenges, and highlight the achievements of women in business and beyond. Attendees of this event always feel inspired, supported, and motivated to champion diversity and inclusion.
