The Manning School of Business is thrilled to host an inspiring two-day event on March 31 and April 1! 

The theme is Empowering Change: From Connection to Impact.

This event brings industry and community leaders directly into the classroom, offering students a unique opportunity to:

  • Engage with top professionals through dynamic talks, presentations, and workshops. Gain real-world insights into current trends, challenges, and opportunities.
  • Build meaningful connections with mentors and potential employers while developing professional skills.

Registration Information

  • Manning School of Business students should register through the Suitable app. Use the registration links below for each session. Space is limited, register early!
  • UMass Lowell Honors College students (all sessions are E1 Eligible) and River Hawk Scholars Academy students are welcome to attend. 
  • UMass Lowell business minors or non-Manning students taking business courses are welcome to attend the sessions. No prior registration is required for these students as they do not have login access to the Suitable app. There will be a “Suitable” help desk in the Pulichino Tong Business Center (PTB) Colella Atrium, and students can sign in to record their participation in a session.
  • Students are welcome to attend as many sessions as their schedule allows. After attending three or more events, Manning students will earn a Manning Industry Days badge on Suitable, which they can post on LinkedIn or submit to get attendance credit for their courses.
