Kent Kirch, Deloitte's director of global recruiting, said, "The multi-national, multi-cultural aspect of the event identifies talented individuals who may one day come to work for Deloitte member firms, or may one day be Deloitte clients. This approach is critical to identifying future business leaders." He further explained that Deloitte Student Business Forum is unique because it offers an international business experience to talented people. Students participating in the program mainly came from countries such as the UK, Switzerland, Sweden, Spain, Slovakia, Serbia, Romania, Portugal, Poland, Norway, Netherlands, Italy, Ireland, Hungary, Finland, Czech Republic, Croatia, CIS and Belgium.

The Student Business Forum was launched by Deloitte in the year 2007, welcoming approximately 50 students out of 700 who applied for the 3-day residential program. Those students who are selected to take part in Deloitte Student Business Forum are mainly interested in international career and have great leadership ability. Kirch said that Deloitte SBF brings students who investigate their options for future careers. Kirch concluded, "Students are able to get a sense of an international professional services career, and bring the knowledge they have gained from the experience."
