St. Louis Union Station Marriott – St. Louis, MO
November 5-7, 2009

In the current tough economy, it is more important than ever to develop the knowledge and skills you’ll need to land that first job! What are you doing to improve your credentials and create a competitive advantage? Join IMA at its 10th Annual Student Leadership Conference, and learn how to position yourself for future success. The Conference will be held at the St. Louis Union Station Marriott in St. Louis, Mo., on Nov 5-7, 2009.

As in past years, students will have an excellent opportunity to network with accounting and finance professionals, fellow students, and educators from across the country. Learn from the experts about management accounting career opportunities, the value of the Certified Management Accountant (CMA^®) certification, leadership, ethics, forensic accounting, professional etiquette, and more. The Conference agenda is currently in the planning stages and will once again feature leading practitioners and professors as presenters. Students should bring a current résumé to provide to Conference sponsors and exhibitors as they are eager to find top talent for their organizations.

Our confirmed keynote speakers include:

Mike Kramer – President and CEO, Kellwood Company (leading manufacturer of clothing labels such as Baby Phat, XOXO, BICE, and more)

Dr. Pete Brewer – Professor of Accounting, Miami University of Ohio

John O’Leary – Motivational Speaker, Rising Above, LLC

There will also be fun, interactive networking events. Our Thursday night kick off will allow you time to meet our exhibitors and sponsors, and the Friday night event will feature a relaxing boat cruise along the Mississippi river. Each evening will give you time to make new acquaintances that can potentially help you with your career goals and aspirations.
