Global Insights in the Heart of Atlanta

With more than 80,000 alumni across 80 countries, the Terry College of Business brings together a broad network of accomplished business leaders. Alumni and friends of the college annually converge in Atlanta for the Terry College Alumni Network Conference to connect, exchange ideas, and support one another’s leadership journeys.

A Day Designed For Meaningful Engagement

The conference features an agenda shaped to address today’s most pressing business challenges and opportunities. Speakers include prominent alumni, senior executives, and leaders from varied industries. Equally important is the opportunity for connection. Throughout the day, attendees engage with peers across geographies, industries, and career stages, resulting in relationships that last long after the event.

Throughout the years, conference proceeds established the Mary Virginia Terry Student Support Fund. To date, $80,000 has been awarded to 32 students. Students use these awards to assist with undergraduate and graduate tuition and expenses, study abroad, travel to professional conferences, equipment and more.
