The National Black MBA Association is holding their annual conference in Houston, Texas this year September 10th-14th. If there’s any chance you will be in the area, I encourage you to go.
Although the entire conference is quite expensive, you can purchase a ticket to just the career fair at a greatly reduced rate. Even if you aren’t a NBMBAA member, they would love to have you. I’ve attended this fair before and found it very helpful.
Hundreds of large employers recruit at this event every year. Below is an awesome photo of their career fair in action. Just seeing it makes my heart beat with anticipation. I hope you’ll check it out.
