Abstract	This paper introduces a unique project to faculty seeking an interdisciplinary activity that exposes students to the necessary art of persuasive communication in the field of finance. Specifically, we have designed a multi-stage simulation in which undergraduate business students apply both finance and communication skills, specifically persuasion, to compete for a finite pool of capital for use in private equity investments. The simulation stresses the importance of teamwork as students participate in a hypothetical Venture Capital Conference in which they attempt to persuade the audience of potential investors to commit capital to their investment ideas. The project takes approximately four weeks to execute. At its conclusion, students will have participated in a tangible classroom project that integrates financial communication best practices through a team-teaching approach that allows for reinforcement of each discipline's learning outcomes.
