About the MBA CSC and the Annual U.S. Conference

The 2012 MBA Career Services Council (MBA CSC) Annual U.S. 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 CSC brings together hundreds of career development and recruiting professionals interested in learning and discussing industry trends and issues in the MBA recruiting field.  MBA CSC and the 2012 Annual U.S. Conference are designed to:

  • Introduce members to career services and recruitment vendors and resources.
  • 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.

Benefits of Sponsorships/Exhibitors

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.  Participation in the vendor showcase is an additional benefit.

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.
