The Wharton General Management Conference breaks new ground in a renowned tradition of student-run Wharton conferences, which focus on a range of industries and business issues, including technology, energy, health care, entrepreneurship, marketing, finance, and more. The Wharton General Management Conference will showcase Wharton's strength in management research and education and also demonstrate Wharton MBA students' passion for general management careers. With over 300 members, the Wharton General Management Club is one of Wharton’s largest professional MBA clubs. These students are supported by the Wharton Management Department, whose faculty members are recognized worldwide for the real-world, real-time knowledge they bring into Wharton’s classrooms and more than 20 research centers and initiatives.
Register now to be a part of the Wharton General Management Conference, where you will learn about the latest management trends in the many leading firms represented on conference panels and network with others interested in the general management.
Today’s managers face a landscape that would have looked alien only a year ago. Current events are causing organizations and stakeholders to re-think fundamental ideas on business strength, ethics, and the risk/reward balance. The emergence of strong new market and non-market players is severely disrupting commercial, technology, and regulatory space.
Now is the time to learn from the past, to accept our responsibility for the future, and to prepare to shape the business world into a new, better image. What skills, qualities, and values will allow us to lead companies to their maximum potential? How can we equip organizations to lead—or to resist—disruptive change? How can business and government successfully collaborate to create prosperity and to diffuse looming future challenges? We invite you to explore these and other questions with us at the 2009 Wharton General Management Conference.
