Business Expertise from World-Class Professors and Practitioners

What is the Atlanta Leadership Symposium?
The University of Georgia’s Terry College of Business and University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business are combining forces to design and launch a new leadership program that features both world-class business school professors and world-class executives. The professors and practitioners will present the latest thinking on the subject of leadership as it relates to change, innovation, positive culture, strategy, finance, and marketing.


The program format includes multi-media presentations from the professors plus a panel discussion
featuring three senior executives from the Atlanta-area. The panel discussion will be moderated by a Terry College of Business professor. The program will be held in the UGA Terry Executive Education Center located at 3475 Lenox Road in the Buckhead area of Atlanta.

Building the Next Generation of Senior Executives
Who Should Attend: The participants will most likely be identified by their company as a high-potential manager or director having potential be a future C-Level executive in operations, finance, marketing, sales and HR.
