Business Madness features a major speaker each year. This year’s address will be given by Matthew Luhn of Pixar, invited by the college’s clubs for his inspiration on entrepreneurial, animation and entertainment industry topics.

From keynote speaker Matthew Luhn of Pixar Animation Studios to career networking events, Business Madness 2017 promises to be an exciting and educating experience. Here are three events not to miss during the February 23 to March 2 celebration, sponsored by the Business Inter-Club Council (BICC).

For the past quarter century, story writer and consultant Matthew Luhn has left his mark on the entertainment world, developing animated characters for television and movies such as “The Simpsons,” the “Toy Story” movie series and “Monsters University.” As a motivational speaker, Luhn also trains CEOs, entrepreneurs, marketers and other professionals on how to tell their stories. Students will have the opportunity to hear Luhn provide inspiration on entrepreneurship and the entertainment industry on Wednesday, March 1, at 6:15 p.m. in TSU Pavilions. The free event is sure to fill up fast, so RSVP online.

While Luhn’s visit will be the highlight, there are a number of events for students to get involved. “Business Madness is a week filled with networking and recreational events,” says BICC President Safa Moinuddin ’18 (accounting and information systems). “Our business clubs have been working hard to ensure that our fellow students and the CSUF community will get to partake in excellent career advancement opportunities as well as fun-filled events.”
