Just Business was the first entrepreneurship conference for 60 students from Brasov and was held at the Brasov City Hall in the meeting room of the town counselors. Just Business consisted of two days of presentations and trainings about business development, sales, business market, online businesses, and in the last day, of Bears Arena (Arena Ursilor). Among the speakers were: Nicolae Tucunel ( president of Brasov ‘s Chamber of Commerce and Industry), Claudiu Gamulescu (online business developer), Radu Craciun (Bear – investor, member of the jury), Radu Ioan Tudorache (Bear – investor, member of the jury).
Bears Arena is a financial competition in which the delegates present their business plans in front or the Bears – the jury. If their business plans are good, the investors can help them by financing their future businesses. Even though only one participant of eight won, the other seven received feedback and recommandations from the Bears. Sometimes is not only about winning.
Don’t forget our motto: “Nothing personal, Just Business”.
Just Business, or the Bears’ Arena, as known by many, was the event that changed a bit the perception on myself, boosted my self-confidence and offered me a new perspective on what does it mean to be professional. It required a lot of work, both from me and the team I have led. I have worked under pressure because of the deadline represented by the date the conference had to be held on and because of the presence of our stakeholders who had to be impressed so that we could enjoy their participation in our future events. I encourage all those who want to enjoy an unforgettable experience to make their way to the position of coordoniting such an event.

Nothing personal, Just Business. This is our conference motto, but it was personal and not just business. This
conference was a new opportunity for us to develop our skills and knowledge about entrepreneurship in general. It was more than that, it was an opportunity to do great networking, to start building new relations, to develop our business ideas, to develop ourselves. And we did that, even more than that, we met people that usually we can’t reach, because they’re businessmen and we are just students. They don’t care if you are a student, they care that you are young and smart , and have great potential – entrepreneur potential. They gave us feedback, advices. They addressed us as friends, not as potentially employers.
Me as a organizing committee member, I felt the same way as all the delegates felt: “this is an opportunity to develop me and my ideas”.
And this was only the first edition, the first try, now imagine the second edition how it will be.
So it’s personal and not just business, at least for me.
