VOICES OF AUTHORITY
Words from Academic & Industry Leaders
ALM in the words of the directors, deans, and industry experts who were on the floor.
We walked in hoping to find corporate partners and walked out with three signed MoUs. The roundtable format at ALM is unlike anything else in the academic conference circuit.
Best-organized academic leadership event I have attended. The quality of industry representatives in the room and the depth of conversation during the roundtable was exceptional.
Our placement numbers increased by 40% within two semesters of implementing the frameworks we learned at ALM. The networking lunch alone was worth the half-day commitment.
