In the Big Apple for the first Asian MBA conference
We were at the First Annual Asian MBA conference in New York last weekend, and we were very glad to be there.
We found out about this conference by accident: we bumped into the CEO of the conference at the NAAAP conference in Denver last month. We were there to recruit, he was there to get the word out about his new event. He was intrigued with our mission and invited us to come. We took the invitation back to our offices and the team quickly agreed we ought to go.
We haven't heard what the final attendance was, but I'm sure I saw at least 1,000 in the career expo hall. We met a lot of people ... mostly Mandarin speakers but some Thai and Hindi as well. We were also on the lookout for Indonesian and Vietnamese speakers. We even had a Hausa speaker come by; she filled out an application on the spot! Many were students enrolled in MBA programs I think it's safe to say that there will be a second annual conference and it'll be on our list of places to be.
