History

Early in 2002, the Graduate Student Association realized that Babson needed a large public event that highlighted and reinforced Babson’s reputation for global leadership in Entrepreneurship.  Thus, the Babson Entrepreneurship Forum was born. Christian Crews, Havell Rodrigues and Felipe Venegas represented the legendary inaugural leadership team that planted the forum seed. Together, they took the initial idea and built a plan that resulted in the Babson Entrepreneurship Forum.

This team’s vision was to put Babson College into the event circuit of the Boston area schools by creating an annual event commensurate with those sanctioned by many of the prominent business schools in the area. They wanted a diverse group of Babson and non-Babson students and professionals to attend and continue to strengthen the Babson brand.
