Conference Introduction

The National Diversity Conferences are hosted by MBA Diversity organizations for business professionals to convene for networking, leadership development, and career opportunities. There are case competitions and career fairs, as well as classes associated with each conference.

These conferences are open to all Jenkins Full-Time and Working Professional MBAs.
Attending these conferences is best for –

• Full-time employment candidates graduating in December 2021, May 2022, and August 2022
• Internship employment candidates for Summer 2022

In this time of the pandemic, organizers are offering virtual and in-person formats.

There are differences in employers, attendee profiles, and conference missions.  Choose conferences that align with your needs.  Most MBAs attend National Black and/or the MBA Veterans Conference and Career Expo. 

The Jenkins MBA office offers a stipend for up to, but no more than, $250 for the registration fee for one conference.

NOTE:  It is very important to create a profile on the targeted national conference website as early as possible.  These profiles are how you will be seen and noticed by employers, and will secure you interviews and appointments PRIOR to showing up at the conference, so you can arrive with a schedule and meetings with employers already in place.
