Sponsorship Opportunities
The Center for International Business Education and Research CIBER at the Robert H. Smith School of Business and University of Maryland is intended to be a national resource center for teaching, research, and outreach in international business and related disciplines. The overarching purpose of CIBER is to enhance the international competitiveness of Maryland and United States business.

In pursuit of its purpose, the Smith School CIBER organizes seminars and conferences aimed at business executives, university faculty, and other key constituencies.

WHO WILL ATTEND?
