The 2010 GBSSA Conference will be held in Chicago, Illinois, Wednesday, October 20th through Friday, October 22nd at the beautiful Chicago Marriott Downtown, located on Chicago’s Magnificent Mile. This year’s conference is hosted by the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.

The windy city is thrilled to host the GBSSA Conference - Winds of Change: Inspiring Success. In addition to informal information sharing amongst members, this year’s participants will have the opportunity to learn about and discuss these and other topics:

• Inspiring academic and professional success for our students
• Setting a vision and achievable goals

In addition to four concurrent sessions, the conference will feature an opening keynote address with Joe Fox, Associate Dean and Director of MBA programs from Washington University in St. Louis and a closing keynote address by Second City-trained accounting professor, Michael Popowits. During the conference, we will visit the University of Chicago Booth School of Business’ Charles M. Harper Center. During downtime, conference attendees are encouraged to stroll the Magnificent Mile, browse the galleries of the River North neighborhood, or walk along the beautiful Lake Michigan waterfront. We also have a special evening reception planned for guests at the Museum of Science and Industry in one of their famous exhibits. An event not to be missed!
