Activities
Latin America 101
This event consists of a panel of Latin American second year students addressing the current state, trends and business opportunities in the region. By this we will create an inclusive environment for all members of the Anderson community to address their concerns about the region and give them basic information that about doing business with Latin American parties.
Kickoff and professional mixer
This is an opportunity for Latin American- and U.S.-based companies to approach MBA students with a particular interest in Latin America, and the Spanish and Portuguese domain. The objective is to provide networking opportunities for students to familiarize them with companies and positions with a Latin American focus in terms of location or as a market.
International Food Festival
As an important part of the Anderson international student community, LABA represents the region with traditional food and drink. Furthermore, as it is customary for LABA, part of the profits will be donated to charity.
Dinners for Eight
These dinners are a very important opportunity for LABA members to discuss and network with a relevant representative of a company in one of their main areas of interest. We have planned dinners with representatives from companies in consulting, investment banking, real estate and marketing. This represents a great opportunity for our members to get insight in the industry and the company. Moreover, the hosting companies get a new and fresh perspective and a first encounter with potential candidates.
