History of Bergen Shipping Conference

Navnet, størrelsen og lengden har endret seg over årene, men studentene ved NHH har alltid jobbet hardt for å bringe sammen næringslivet, politikere og akademia, for å kunne dele ideer og diskutere dagsaktuelle tema. Antall deltagere har variert mellom 150 og 400, og konferansen har stort sett foregått på norsk. I lista under finder du oversikten over tidlige konferanser, samt foredragsholdere.
