NSHMBA 2010 Conference In Chicago

Six days from now, more than more than 700 people will come together for a breakfast in downtown Chicago.  And after that 8,500 people will join them in an event that some will consider the opportunity of a lifetime.  A chance where many of the attendees will not only leave the weekend with new friends and new job prospects, but some will also leave with the summer internship and full time job offers they’ve been dreaming of all year.

Hello everyone, I am just writing to quickly let you know about the NSHMBA Annual Conference and Career Expo. This event is the nation’s largest Hispanic MBA conference, and it’s coming up in Chicago on October 21-23 in Chicago.

As mentioned, NSHMBA’s expecting more than 8000 attendees and more than 250 corporations at this year’s event (click here to see the list of companies). Having recently gone to the NBMBAA Conference (click here to see my post), I’ll tell you firsthand that the Annual Conference is where NSHMBA really shines. And best of all, it’s here in the great city of Chicago!

A number of my Kellogg classmates will be there, including me as one of the winners of the NSHMBA scholars award.  The great organization of MLT will also be there, as will some of my good friends from Cornell’s Johnson School of Business, MIT Sloan, and the Wharton School of Business. Further, most of the local schools such as University of Chicago Booth, Loyola School of Business, and University of Notre Dame, will be there too. And that’s in addition to the NSHMBA corporate partners, which include most of the world’s top companies to work for.

And together, they’ll all partake in the opportunity not only to help catapult people’s career, but more importantly to support the “race” to bring diversity to our professional communities.  And the timing couldn’t be any better. After all, we did just finish up Hispanic Heritage Month yesterday (click here for my post on last year’s Hispanic Heritage Month).

So what about you  … Are you coming?

Feel free to drop me a line if you are. Hopefully see you there.
