On 21 November in Paris, the student association Déclic Entreprendre organised the TEDxNeomaBSRouen conference on the subject of “Stay or Leave”. It was an exciting evening that demanded our business school students put in long hours and do meticulous work to make it a success.

“We’re very proud of the work we did. Thanks to the speakers who contributed right up to the end and for giving us such great performances! Thanks to the two masters of ceremony, Pierre Li Cavoli and Abdallah Hassani, and for their thorough work throughout the evening! And lastly, thanks to the coach for supporting the speakers for several months up to the main event!” the association members posted on LinkedIn.
