The Latin American MBA Association (LAMBA) at Boston University Questrom School of Business collaborates with students and encourages US and Latin American business professionals to create networks in order to disseminate knowledge and build long-term relationships. LAMBA provides information about employment and internship opportunities available both domestically and abroad. LAMBA supports these efforts via educational forums, networking events, and cultural exchanges inspired by our Latin American culture.
B-CON which stands for “Business Conference ” is a one day event which is run by Boston University’s Questrom MBA students in an effort to cater to conversations that would interest the LatinX professional community. The first conference was held in 2021 and with its success, LAMBA continued to seek more topics that will impact our community. This year the theme is Unidad y Diversificacion.
B-CON 2022 will explore an array of topics including growth marketing, people strategy and cultural transformation, executive leadership, and politics. Our goal is to expand conversations which will envelope the larger theme of diversity and unity and its influence within LATAM and the US.
Please join us by registering and attending on April 30, 2022 starting at 10am

To be successful in this incorporation, companies need to have systems in their hiring and development processes to ensure an equitable environment for all people.

Product Marketing Managers are sought out to be the “voice of the customer” and are considered to have one of the least standardized roles in tech companies.
