2008 National Conference and Career Fair

The 2008 NAWMBA Conference and Career Fair will be held October 24-25, 2008 in the New York City area at the Sheraton Hotel and Conference Center in Stamford, CT.
 
We expect this to be a fantastic event both for attendees and for sponsors.  The 2007 Conference was a great success, with attendance more than doubling from the prior year!  The 2008 Conference will continue to build upon this success and we expect to have over 2000 top Women MBAs attend the event.  Sponsors also had an overwhelming positive response to the attendees:
 
97% rated the number of attendees as Excellent or Good
80% rated the caliber of attendees as Excellent or Good

Comments from Corporate Representatives:

“We will be back!  The 2007 NAWMBA Conference is not a best keep secret anymore and will figure prominently in our recruiting strategy moving forward.  The quality of candidates we spoke to was way above average and we expect several tangible hires as a result of participating.  The conference is an excellent resource from the standpoint of addressing our diversity initiatives!”  —Dick Dempster, Campbell Soup Company

“The conference was well organized and well attended.  We had high expectations given last year’s experience and the conference surpassed them!  We participated in the Technology panel which was also well attended and the students were engaged and asked good questions.  The caliber of women we met was excellent—they presented themselves well and seemed to have the right balance of assertiveness and self-confidence to be successful—we were very impressed.”  — Lisa Clark, Agilent Technologies
