Engaging Student Entrepreneurs

To help support students studying entrepreneurship strategy, FX Initiative is pleased to collaborate with DePaul University’s Coleman Entrepreneurship Center. During the spring semester, we will be working with a team of student entrepreneurs to deliver a series of remote learning sessions designed to serve the professional development and networking needs of the Chicago business community. 

The Coleman Entrepreneurship Center (CEC) empowers students, alumni, and community members to build sustainable businesses that do good and do well in Chicago. The CEC is a premier hub to connect, advise, and inspire entrepreneurship and innovation. To learn about their experiential programs, vibrant ecosystem, and academic curriculum for entrepreneurial success, visit cec.depaul.edu.

Founded in Chicago by DePaul alumni in 2010, FX Initiative is a global foreign exchange (FX) continuing professional education (CPE) provider of on-demand training, online tools, and webinar topics on currency risk management for corporate finance, accounting, and treasury professionals. We welcome the opportunity to provide real world experiences and support student growth opportunities.

In the weeks ahead, we will be announcing new projects and remote learning sessions that are open to the public and accessible online. We welcome business leaders and corporate sponsors to contact us about contributing the success of this student collaboration.

Windy City Summit Remote Learning Session

With the cancellation of the 2020 Windy City Summit, our originally planned live learning session will be held remotely. Registration for this program is open to the public. If you are a Windy City Summit sponsor or attendee and would like to learn more about remote learning opportunities, please contact us at support@fxinitiative.com.

As health and safety remains a top priority, we fully support the timely decision of the conference organizers. Following increased concerns about COVID-19 over the past few weeks, it was determined that canceling the event was the safest option for all involved. For additional information, visit the Windy City Summit website.

As many are shifting work routines and showing resilience, FX Initiative remains committed to our mission serving as a global foreign exchange (FX) continuing professional education (CPE) provider of on-demand training, online tools, and webinar topics on currency risk management for finance, accounting, and treasury professionals.

We are a Chicago based organization, and similar to the Chicago Fire of 1871, we are committed to offering a rewarding “silver lining” experience by salvaging the summit’s valuable learning opportunities. Please join our webinar on Wednesday, May 20th 2020 on Mastering Currency Risk Management by registering here.
