Abstract: Abstract The X-Culture Global Symposium is an annual six-week-long program that offers students an opportunity to learn international business, consulting, and cross-cultural virtual teams, working through experiences. The event is held in a different country every year, allowing students a chance to work in teams with people from many different countries and experience a local culture of the host country. The event program includes professional development workshops, business case competitions, meetings with local entrepreneurs, field trips visits, behind-the-scenes company tours, sightseeing, and ample networking opportunities. This six-week-long program strongly connects to X-Culture’s mission of bringing cultures together. This chapter details the history, design, challenges, and best practices of organizing such international business consulting abroad programs.
