"The Emerging Markets Conference is an amazing experience and was one of the main reasons I chose to attend Johnson. The conference aims to shed light on the major trends in emerging markets, the networking opportunity is unprecedented to meet with policy and business leaders from around the world and the competitions truly allow students to get firsthand experience in problems faced by managers for global companies."
