“The Management Conference is an excellent way to interact with some of the innovative leaders and creative managers shaping the business world today,” says Marriott School Dean Ned C. Hill. “The conference provides a prime opportunity to refine general management skills and add depth to a particular business specialization.”

Nursery (1–5 yrs), preteen (6–13 yrs), and teen (14–18 yrs) programs are also available for families. This year the teen program will be joining EFY (Especially for Youth) activities.
