The venue for the conference is Emory University, located in beautiful Atlanta, Georgia. Most sessions will take place at the Goizueta Business School located on the Emory Campus.
Founded in 1836, Emory University is home to nine major academic divisions, numerous centers for advanced study, and a host of prestigious affiliated institutions. It is located in Atlanta, GA and presently has 11,300 students and 2,500 faculty members who represent all regions of the United States and more than 100 foreign nations. Dr. James W. Wagner, an award-winning teacher and scholar, became Emory's 19th President in 2003.
Emory's School of Business Administration was founded in 1919 but changed its name in 1994 to the Goizueta Business School, named after Roberto C. Goizueta, then Chairman and CEO of The Coca-Cola Company. Goizueta is home to a two-year and one-year MBA, an Evening MBA, an undergraduate degree program, the Executive MBA (in both a weekend and modular format), and a Ph.D. program. The school also offers a portfolio of innovative non-degree executive education programs. Dr. Thomas Robertson was named Dean in 1998. Goizueta's mission is to create and disseminate business knowledge to global managers and to build economic value for our students, alumni, corporate partners, and their enterprises.
The Emory Campus is located just 15 minutes from downtown Atlanta in the tree-lined suburban neighborhood of Druid Hills.
