"New School" Leadership: Addressing the challenges & opportunities for the next generation of business leaders

If you are seeking to improve your connections, knowledge, and exposure to issues emerging within the African-American community, the DuSable Conference is a “must attend” event for both the experienced and emerging professional.

For over 20 years, attendees have benefited from the wisdom of individuals who have challenged conventional thought and taken new approaches to solving business and society's issues. In true University of Chicago fashion, you will challenge ideas, ask questions and engage peers on important issues facing African Americans.

The DuSable Conference combines the very best in academic theory with experiential knowledge. You will hear from world-class scholars as well as a diverse gathering of business leaders, alumni and other professionals. They will share a wealth of experience that is not only of interest to those in the private sector, but also to anyone looking to enhance their leadership skill set. The conference will address:

• Enhancing the role of African-Americans and people of African descent in the global economy
• Harnessing the intellectual capital of African-Americans
• Investing in economic development domestically and abroad
• Acquiring financing options that make entrepreneurship attainable

This year we are pleased to have Carl Brooks, CEO of The Executive Leadership Council as our keynote speaker, and Raymond McGuire and Roland Martin are our featured speakers.

The DuSable Conference offers working professionals and students a forum to learn and build relationships that will last a lifetime.

Be part of the dialogue. Contribute to the solutions.  Join forces with your peers.

Please join the The University of Chicago Graduate School of Business, African American MBA Association on November 7-9, 2008 for the 24th Annual DuSable Conference.
