The MBA Career Services & Employer Alliance (formerly MBA Career Services Council) Global Conference is the premier conference addressing challenges and innovations in MBA career management and recruiting. As the professional association for MBA career services and recruiting, the MBA CSEA brings together hundreds of career development and recruiting professionals interested in learning and discussing industry trends and issues in the MBA recruiting field. MBA CSEA and the 2014 Global Conference are designed to:

• Provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and address issues unique to the needs of MBA career services and recruiting professionals.
• Provide professional development and networking opportunities for members.
• Promote collaboration among member organizations.
• Develop and promote standard and ethical operating procedures, including the reporting of salary and employment data.
• Introduce members to career services and recruitment vendors and resources.
  

Sponsors: Conference sponsors receive substantial visibility and one-on-one time with conference participants. Sponsorship will allow you to reinforce your company’s name and message as a leader in your field and the best resource for participants’ needs. Sponsors are also automatically given an exhibitor package if they choose to have one. There are a variety of sponsorship levels. We will work with you to design a sponsorship package that is high impact and drives ROI. Exhibitors: Snack/drink breaks will take place in the exhibitor area, and the exhibitor area is centrally located, so traffic is frequently driven toward your booth. Participants are encouraged to visit all exhibitor booths as part of a door prize competition at which conference attendees who visit every booth are entered in a drawing for various prizes.

Getting involved as a sponsor and/or exhibitor allows you to:

• Showcase your company’s services and solutions.
• Network with decision-makers and industry experts.
• Receive feedback from seasoned practitioners.
• Learn best practices and address challenges.
