Women in Business Leadership Conference

Every year, McCombs and GWIB host the annual Women in Business Leadership Conference. The mission of the Conference is to cultivate and enrich the MBA women's academic experience, enhance career networks for women, and celebrate the remarkable strengths women bring to corporate America. We bring together motivated MBA students, alumni, successful corporate businesswomen, and thriving entrepreneurs from all over the country to connect, discuss, and learn more about issues facing women.

 

 

10th Anniversary Women in Business Leadership Conference

 

This year we will celebrate the impact McCombs women have made in business over the past 10 years.

We look forward to reconnecting with you in October.
