“I really wish I had joined AMA sooner; it was wonderful, and I am so grateful for the opportunity. The guest speakers had a great impact on me, it was refreshing to be able to connect and talk to them about my fears of moving into my new career after graduation, and they were such a big help,” stated Kristin Alderete, a first-time attendee, and an international business in French student.

“The marketing competitions at the AMA ICC are often more challenging and complex than those at other marketing conferences, which can provide a unique learning opportunity for students,” says Jasmin Mejia, president of AMA, two-time ICC attendee, and a marketing and management student.
