More than 1,000 of America’s best and brightest college students traveled to Chicago to compete for an honored spot on stage among the Top 10 and a share of more than $95,000 in cash awards.

Participants from across the United States attended this exciting conference to enhance their business skills, expand their networks, and compete in accounting, business, leadership and technology events. Students showcased their skills and knowledge in competitive events that involved objective tests, skills tests, prepared reports, interviews, speeches, role play scenarios, and presentations.
