Between the Stimulus Package and increasing need for more sophisticated government processes, the two no-doubts growth industries for the DC market are government and government contractors.  On May 13th we assembled – to great market acclaim – Columbia MBAs in government.  On July 9th we assemble Columbia and Chicago Booth MBAs who work for government contractors.

 

Art Medici (Columbia MBA’84) and a longstanding entrepreneur & financier in the government contracting space will moderate a panel of speakers from IBM, CGI Federal, SAIC, Northrop Grumman, Deloitte, and other smaller contractors (that, by definition, you’re not likely to have heard of)

Come listen as experienced Columbia and Chicago MBAs share their insights into the industry space, its virtues, charms and peculiarities, and how you can position yourself to be ahead of the wave.  Check www.cbsdcalumclub.com for the latest information on the exact speakers.  This panel is also appropriate for pre-business school students who think they might like to be in government contracting after business school.   This event is at a stunning space, and one that lends itself to the culinary delights of Penn Quarter for drinks & dinner afterwards.

 

$20 for Chicago and Columbia B-School Alum Club members; $30 for non-members
