Can I volunteer for the conference in exchange for conference registration?

Students: As the host school, Kellogg students have the opportunity to serve as conference volunteers. We are unable to offer additional volunteer opportunities to non-Kellogg students.

Professionals: We are offering a limited number of volunteer opportunities to professionals for the Professionals Summit. If you are a non-student, professional attendee and are interested in volunteering please submit the application form to kcooke@netimpact.org by September 15th.

Does Net Impact offer scholarships for the Conference?

The scholarship deadline for the student conference has passed and we are no longer offering conference scholarships. We encourage you to approach your school to seek funding for the conference, letting them know all the benefits of attending like: meeting potential guest speakers, learning new trends in business, meeting with companies who might not yet, but could start recruiting at your school, etc. A good first step is to approach the administration. For a sample presentation to give to your administration, click here. 

Professionals, click here for Professionals Summit Scholarship information.

What efforts are being made for conference greening?

Net Impact and the Kellogg School of Management are committed to making the conference more sustainable and environmentally friendly and we have made greening a priority in our conference planning. With our efforts we intend to boost the sustainability of our conference’s activities, and reduce its impact on the environment through such initiatives as reducing solid waste, limiting paper use, regulating transportation, and offering organic and sustainable foods.

We also look to attendees to help with our greening efforts, and this year we are offering attendees the opportunity to directly impact conference greening. When registering for this year’s conference attendees can contribute $5 to help with our greening plan. We hope you will join us in contributing to this year’s efforts!
