History
The Annual Business Conference has earned a broad reputation based on its long and distinguished history of presenting top speakers for the Midwestern business community. This conference is unsurpassed in its longevity and magnitude by that of any other business school.
The Business Conference was organized and first held in 1947 by the newly established Kelley School of Business Alumni Association to provide continuing education for Kelley alumni. Still sponsored by the Kelley Alumni Association, the conference now is attended each year by more than 1,000 business professionals from many states and is supported by dozens of companies who provide corporate sponsorships or who send numbers of their employees to participate.
