Welcome to Redlands Business Day 2020!
Welcome to the conference site of the Redlands Business Day 2020, a virtual event to be held on December 5, 2020!
The conference theme is “Business in a Changing World.” Over the last several months, businesses have coped with an unparalleled set of Covid-19, social, and economic challenges. We’ve assembled an agenda rich with a plenary and keynote sessions that provide an opportunity to reflect on the changing world we are in, as well as hear the latest in business thinking and practices. And, there over 25 topic and networking sessions from which you can customize your conference experience.
Hear from outside experts and our own faculty on today’s most pressing business matters, including Building a Sustainable Business; Managing the Impacts of COVID-19; Creating and Supporting Diverse, Equitable and Inclusive Cultures; the Future of Work after an Era of Working Remotely; and Finding Happiness in a Changing World.
Participate in a series of networking sessions, with options for both the general participants as well as for the students (past, present, and future) of the School of Business. A post conference workshop is offered for those who want more information about our degree and professional programs.
The event is free, though advance registration is required. Registration includes not only general registration for the event, but also registering for each session (Plenary, Concurrent, Keynote and Networking) that you plan to attend.
