Bgs x sdgs lab leadership conference: Beta Gamma Sigma believes business is a force for global good, which is why we partnered with the foundation for environmental stewardship (fes) and the sdgs launch project to bring members a conference that connects, educates, and empowers participants to be catalysts for change in their communities. Through several speakers, workshops, and a case competition, participants have the opportunity to reflect and build on their understanding of sustainable development. The program consisted of both live and pre-recorded virtual settings that took place between february 3-4, 2023.
