As a business leader on the rise, you understand that success is about what you know and who you know. The WSU Executive MBA Leadership Conference in Seattle is a true difference-maker on both counts. This optional event features presentations from prominent subject matter experts and special guest speakers, but it’s more than a learning experience. The Leadership Conference is an exciting opportunity to meet your peers and network with classmates, faculty, alumni, and the rest of the Cougar Community.

“The thing missing from most EMBA programs is continuous education to update the students after they graduate. This leadership conference is valuable because it keeps alumni, current students, and professors connected on important and innovative topics.”
