Post Crisis: Business Leadership in the New Global Economy
The 2008-09 recession triggered by the 2007-08 mortgage meltdown crisis is
now commonly labeled “The Great Recession” in acknowledgement of its depth and
duration. Regardless of the timing of the economy’s recovery, structural changes
in the financial markets, regulatory environment and even main street household
behavior are anticipated. Leveraging the Robert H. Smith Scholl of Business’
unique position as a thought leader in the greater Washington, DC area, the 2010
Graduate Business Conference will focus on the recovery of the global economy
and how these changes impact today’s emerging business leaders.
The conference will feature prominent keynote speakers who will address the
emerging role of government as a partner and a regulator in this new economic
reality. Discussions will also focus on the evolution of corporate governance,
business ethics and the fundamental structural changes in today’s global
business environment. C-suite executives and experts will contribute to these
discussions, and how these changes will alter the role of MBA business leaders
in the future.
GBC 2010 Agenda
The conference will be held April 15th to the 17th, with delegates arriving
on the 14th and departing on the 18th. The delegates will be staying at the
Marriott Renaissance M Street Hotel in downtown DC and the conference will
utilize the hotel’s conference space as well as Smith’s downtown campus in the
Reagan Center and main campus in College Park Maryland. Each day will have a
keynote speaker and executive panel discussion focusing on one aspect of the
conference theme as well as Presidents’ Network Workshops and leadership
discussions. The schedule will be finalized to accommodate the schedules of our
keynote speakers and panel members.
