The Négostars, a Flagship Event at ICD Business School Toulouse
Organised on the Toulouse campus of ICD Business School, the Négostars event returns this year with an ambitious edition designed and developed by the students themselves. Offering a genuine immersion into real-world commercial challenges, this day places negotiation skills at the heart of learning by confronting students with seasoned professionals.
An Event Designed by Students to Enhance Professional Skills
The Négostars form a comprehensive educational project imagined and managed by third-year students of ICD Business School Toulouse. From scenario design to communication and logistical organisation, the students oversee every stage. This approach strengthens their autonomy, sense of responsibility, and operational abilities. It also reinforces the professional dimension of the programme by placing students at the centre of a concrete, evaluated experience.

A Realistic Immersion with Experienced Negotiation Professional
At the core of the event are face-to-face negotiation sessions based on cases inspired by real business situations. Each student has 50 minutes to prepare their strategy, followed by 15 minutes of structured negotiation with an industry professional. Relationship management, active listening, argumentation, persuasion and balanced agreement-making are all assessed with precision. Participants also benefit from training workshops led by experts and valuable networking time with attending professionals.
A Springboard for the Future and a Strong Marker of Pedagogical Identity
The Négostars fully reflect ICD Business School’s ambition to train professionals capable of adapting, analysing, and convincing. Beyond the competitive aspect, this event acts as a powerful lever for skill development. Personalised feedback, direct exposure to real-life situations and evaluation by practitioners help students refine their professional posture. The Négostars have become an essential part of academic life in Toulouse, offering participants a meaningful and career-enhancing experience.
More Than a Pedagogical Exercise
Driven by the commitment of ICD Business School Toulouse students, the Négostars represent far more than a simple academic activity: they embody a demanding, structured and highly professional learning experience. Combining strategic preparation, real-world interaction and constructive feedback, this day stands as a decisive milestone in shaping future negotiators.
