Alberta Accounting Student Conference

If you are considering the CGA, CA or CMA designations, then don't miss out on this great event!

 The AASC will be held on Saturday March 10, 2012 from 9AM - 5PM at The Westin, Downtown Edmonton. Tickets will cost $20 if bought in February and $30 in March.

 The cost will provide attendees with various activities throughout the day. Highlights include a panel discussion by professionals of current accounting issues and a speed networking segment. During the speed networking segment, students will participate in an interactive and casual Q & A with professionals representing each of the  accounting designations. At the end of the day, there is a great opportunity to network with CGA, CA & CMA professionals from both industry and public practice during our dessert social.

 Not only is this a great way to explore your career paths as an accounting student but also a fantastic opportunity to jump start networking for the upcoming recruiting season! Our speed networking session last year received much appreciation from students and corporates alike. It's the perfect opportunity to get all your questions answered without the pressure of recruitment.
