The collaboration between Bocconi University and Campus Party has been renewed. The festival of innovation and creativity, that has been held all over the world since 1997, arrived to Italy last year with its first edition in Milan. This year Bocconi students will again be able to participate for free in the event, which will be held from 18 to 22 July at Rho Fiera Milano.

Bocconi professors will be on the stages of Campus Party. The Rector, Gianmario Verona, will speak from the main stage on July 19 at 11am, with a speech on how technology and other changes of the last few years impose new paradigms on companies, and the Dean for International Affairs, Stefano Caselli will present a talk entitled Preparing for the global future on July 20 at 2pm.
