Building B-School Symposium, November 2–4, 2009
In the competitive world of management education, advancing your school requires insight, innovation, and creativity. Take part in the only event of its kind—a new symposium exclusively focused on the specific needs of business schools. Presented in a workshop format designed for high-level professionals in development, communications, and alumni relations, this intensive event delivers expertise and strategies to solidify your school’s success.

New Format, Two Separate Tracks
This reformatted event is available in two distinct, simultaneous tracks—choose to attend a workshop in either development or communications. Each will be held in its own meeting space with its own facilitator. To aid in your selection, view the preliminary agendas posted above.

Materials Showcase
Share your efforts with your colleagues—the Materials Showcase is an opportunity to bring samples of your marketing/communications/development materials to compare and contrast with your peers.

Brochures, advertisements, direct mail, signs, handouts, publications, logo merchandise, and other promotional  and awareness efforts will be showcased next to the session rooms, available for viewing by both participating groups during break periods.

Enhanced Networking
Each track will begin with an introductory “Who’s in the room?” session. Prior to the event, participants will be sent a brief survey to share information such as school size, department budget, scope of work, and which topics are of the highest relevance to their position and institution. Attendees also will be asked to share bios and contact info, which will be included in symposium materials to facilitate networking beyond the event.
