Everything is set for the Chicago 1980 National Career Conference, to be held May 5 and 6, and it promises to be the most exciting student event that S.A.M. has ever held! The conference, which immediately precedes the Senior National Management Conference, begins Monday afternoon with lakefront boat tours of Chicago. Conference registration will be from 3 :00-5:00 P.M., and chapter executives will attend a board meeting from 6:00-7:00. At 7:00, a meeting for all conference participants will be held, followed by a 9 :00 cocktail party.
Tuesday offers a full schedule of activities. Students may choose four out of about 20 company career presentations to attend. Industry leaders will be representing such fields as advertising, marketing, banking, finance, management consulting, hospital administration, manufacturing, and accounting. The presentations begin at 8:00 A.M. and continue until 4:30 P.M. A light breakfast and lunch will be provided by two of the companies.
The evening’s festivities begin with a cocktail reception at 6:00 P.M., followed by dinner, award presentations, a guest speaker, and a party at the Raddison Hotel Disco.

There will also be special sessions on Tuesday for faculty advisors to attend while the company presentations are in progress. Of course, all students are also invited to register for the Senior National Management Conference that will be held May 7-9. SAM-NI
