The Whitney M. Young, Jr. Memorial Conference

Through the Conference, the Wharton School’s African American MBA Association (AAMBAA) acknowledges and memorializes the contributions and ideals of Whitney M. Young, Jr.; an educator, humanitarian, author and civil rights leader. This year’s theme, “Connecting and Developing Dynamic Leadership”, reflects the influence and inspiration that arise when an assortment of talent, ideas, and initiatives are brought together. Individuals from various geographic regions, a broad range of professional and business interests and varying levels of career advancement will gather in Philadelphia on this weekend and the interaction will surely result in much creative and innovative thinking that will inspire attendees for years to come.

This year’s event will feature dynamic panel discussions and keynote speakers, a career fair, a New-Ventures Competition highlighting our community’s latest innovations, and engaging social events. It is an opportunity for students, alumni, educators, professionals and entrepreneurs to network, share ideas and gain knowledge about professional business industries and issues of interest to members of the African Diaspora. We invite you to come participate in what promises to be an informative, enjoyable, and rewarding experience.

On behalf of the AAMBAA class of 2008-2009, we welcome you to the 34th Annual Whitney M. Young Jr. Memorial Conference!
