Policy and Industry Leaders Imagine the Future With Artificial Intelligence
April 2, 2025
An artificial intelligence boom is underway and accelerating at an exponential magnitude. Big data and machine learning have now led to large language models that are rapidly paving the way toward the emergence of artificial generative intelligence (AGI).
What mechanisms and frameworks should we use to prepare for the future? How should these innovations materialize in markets around the globe? What safe and ethical practices could government and business leaders follow when integrating AI into their operations?
During this second annual Business & Policy Forum, experts and leaders from the private and public sectors will convene to discuss these questions and others. Join us for an insightful conversation on the future of AI.

About the Club
Understanding how policy shapes business and community
The Business and Policy Forum helps students explore how government decisions shape the
economy and the world of business. The club focuses on real-world challenges and
opportunities—especially those faced by small and local businesses—while building
meaningful connections between classroom learning and community impact.
By examining how policies such as taxation, tariffs, labor laws, and regulations affect
businesses, students gain a clearer understanding of how economic decisions influence
industries and communities.
Whether interested in business, law, government, or public service, members develop
practical skills and insights that prepare them for real-world leadership and informed
decision-making.
The Business & Policy Forum stands on three key pillars of impact and leadership.
Research & Teaching Excellence
Exploring the forces that shape modern business
Through collaboration with experts, policymakers, and industry leaders, the Forum guides students in understanding how government decisions influence innovation, entrepreneurship, and community impact. We bring public and private sector perspectives together to examine emerging challenges and opportunities.
Strategic Location & Access
At the center of business and policymaking
Positioned in an influential economic and governmental region, the Forum provides students with unmatched access to policy discussions, business leaders, and real-world case studies. This environment helps students understand how decisions made at the top shape the future of industry.
Knowledge, Ideas & Leadership
A platform for discussion, creativity, and growth
Forum participants learn through debates, discussions, workshops, and guest sessions featuring innovators and policymakers. Students gain leadership skills, policy awareness, and confidence to contribute meaningfully to future business and societal challenges.
Our Objectives
Connecting classroom learning with real-world policy and business challenges.
Academic Exploration
Students study current economic and policy issues, analyze real businesses, and examine how local, state, and federal policies — including taxation, tariffs, labor laws, and regulations — influence business decisions and market outcomes.
Community Engagement
Through collaboration with local business owners and policymakers, members gain hands-on experience. Guest speakers, panels, and field visits connect classroom theory to real challenges faced by businesses in the community.
Career Preparation
The club builds practical skills—research, analysis, communication, and problem solving—preparing members for careers in business, law, government, and public policy.
