Previous Conferences

The Widening Gap

The deadline for applications is Friday, January 1
Our Regional Conferences for the South have been a hugely popular event. This year, we focus on the theme of "The Widening Gap". Given the current financial meltdown, have students become jaded to big business? How have attitudes changed? Are students looking to enter other sectors, such as science, or philanthropy? Through a series of panels, seminars, and keynotes, we will discuss this topic in an intimate setting in the heart of Austin. Hope to see you there!

The Dynamics of Leadership: Transformation and Innovation in the 21st Century

This year's conference, held in the Marriott Marquis in Times Square at the Heart of New York, will take place November 22-25 of this year. The theme will be "The Dynamics of Leadership: Transformation and Innovation in the 21st Century." Given the current sub-prime mortgage crisis and the conference's proximity to the 2008 Presidential Election, we thought leadership would be an incredibly timely theme--whether you are an entrepreneur, a politician, or a CEO, leadership is a quality that will make or break your organization.
