LEXINGTON, Ky. (July 16, 2024) — As is tradition, this year’s College Business Management Institute (CBMI) conference will be hosted on the University of Ketucky’s campus, an ideal setting for learning and networking, during the week of July 21-26. Beyond the 73 courses offered by UK’s esteemed faculty, attendees will interact during this year’s unique networking events, such as Monday’s Casino Night-themed reception and mocktail Happy Hour.
The CBMI 2024 conference has received a record-breaking number of registrations, with more than 800 attendees participating, making this year’s networking opportunities even more exciting and impactful. In addition to attendees, 57 faculty members, 13 of whom are brand new to CBMI, will bring new insights and experiences to UK.
There are more than 100 UK employees registered for CBMI 2024 and about 150 attendees coming from across Kentucky. Attendees will easily be able to meet and connect with colleagues and make new connections through the CBMI mobile app.
Registration for the 2025 conference opens in early April 2025. Early registration is encouraged, as the program is expected to continue to grow.
This event is organized by a small team of five staff members supported by a group of about 20 volunteers and students who are all dedicated to the quality and growth of this nationally recognized professional development opportunity.
