of competitions, conferences, information sessions, and training sessions. The APEX

Conference is dedicated to offering delegates relevant workshops and keynotes concernedwith soft skill development and business issues that differ from the plethora of informationoffered at other undergraduate events.

APEX’s unparalleled success over the past 14 years is credited to the extensive workour conference development and corporate relations team puts into working with ou

sponsors, keyontes, workshop hosts in ensuring each component of the conference is value

added for our delegates.

APEX is not a case competition or a venue for social business gathering, but instead veryfocused and purpose-filled event that seeks to help our delegates develop a foundation o

soft skills to compliment their technical proficiency.

Past workshops

APEX aims to develop and sharpen its delegates’ soft skills, as these are crucial

to their success as a future business professional. These skills are often ignored in

classroom settings.

However, APEX has continually delivered phenomenal workshops led by a diversegathering of accomplished business leaders. Examples of workshops hosted in the

past are:- Resume & Mock Interviews - Navigating the Corporate World
