Our campus and online events are a great way to build your brand, get the word out about your internships and job openings, and meet some of today’s top MBA talent.
MBA recruiting events at Booth range from informal meet-and-greets to networking nights featuring multiple companies. No matter which format you choose, you’ll have the chance to introduce your company to Booth students and build relationships with prospective interns and employees.
Ideal for companies that are especially well known to students, Information Sessions are 60-minute events that feature just one company. Your event can include a presentation and time for questions, and in-person events provide opportunities to network.
For the 2021–22 academic year, we'll offer virtual information sessions. These evening virtual sessions allow you to share content on your organization and employment opportunities.
If you include a presentation in your in-person event, we encourage you to keep it short and focus on networking. The goal is to find innovative ways for students to learn about your firm and make a personal connection.
For virtual information sessions, we suggest you focus on content that can’t be easily found online, including details on the recruiting process for the roles you’re seeking to fill.
To connect with students who will be in the market for full-time jobs, schedule an event on or after September 20.
To schedule an event, contact our Employer Relations team or register via GTS.
For the 2021 – 22 academic year, we’ve suspended in-person events and will instead offer companies the opportunity to host virtual information sessions. These virtual sessions allow you to share content on your organization and employment opportunities.

Corporate Networking Nights (CNN) are networking events that give companies like yours the opportunity to build relationships with Chicago Booth students and recruit top talent for your available positions.
For the 2021-22 academic year, CNNs have been put on hold until we are able to gather in person safely. As an alternative, we encourage companies to host virtual Meet-n-Greets. Please see below for more details on connecting with students via a virtual Meet-n-Greet session.
Connect with Booth MBA students with an entrepreneurial mindset. Our annual Startup Networking Night brings entrepreneurs together with talented Booth students for a reception-style evening of informal networking.
March 2022. Registration will open this winter with a more specific date and time. If you are interested in attending, email us and we will reach out closer to the event with more information.
This event offers a great opportunity to market your startup to a large network of entrepreneurial Booth students who are available for project work, internships, and full-time positions.
Companies that have demonstrated an interest in hiring Booth talent will get preference in the registration process. We encourage you to post your open positions with us.
Each company will have its own high cocktail table where you can meet Booth students and display company literature or giveaways.
Startup Networking Night is presented in collaboration with the Polsky Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation and the Rustandy Center for Social Sector Innovation.
Typically held in Harper Center's second-floor corridor or virtually, these sessions give recruiters and company representatives a chance to chat informally with students. Students sign up in advance and come prepared to learn more about the company and ask questions.
To schedule a meet-and-greet, contact our Employer Relations team or register via GTS.
Preinterview nights give you the chance to interact informally with students in advance of their formal job or internship interview. They also give students the chance to ask questions and show you a different side of themselves. These events are generally held off campus, but we can also assist with virtual events. Please contact our Employer Relations team for details.
Summer is a great time to build relationships with rising second-year Chicago Booth students, and one of the best ways to do that is to host an event for Booth interns in your area. We’re happy to help advertise your event to students.
