Reaching Out MBA Tips for First-Timers

We're delighted that you chose to register for the 2006 Reaching Out Conference in New York City. On behalf of the sponsors, host schools, and board of Reaching Out, welcome! The students who have organized this year's conference have spent months preparing for the event and want you to get the most out of it. Particularly if this is your first Reaching Out conference, we've designed this guide to provide you with the basics for making the most of this year's conference.

Reaching Out is unlike anything else we know of - it's a unique opportunity for LGBT students in MBA programs throughout the world to come together, learn from one another, and interact directly with out leaders in inclusive firms which span a wide spectrum of industries and sectors. Our sponsors, these employers, put huge resources into having the right team of recruiters and staff at Reaching Out each year to meet business school candidates just like you. This page will help you to be ready to meet with them.

We'll break conference participation down into three simple and logical phases:

• Before You Arrive
• Upon Arrival
• After Returning Home
