On behalf of the 2008 executive committee, I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to the 10th annual Achieving Professional Excellence ("APEX") National Business Conference.

APEX, hosted by the Schulich School of Business, is a yearly initiative that attracts Canada's top undergraduate business students from across the country. Our mission is to bridge the gap between classroom learning and the corporate community. Through the experience of seasoned professionals, APEX has a unique focus on developing necessary soft skills for success in today’s diverse and dynamic business landscape. Moreover, our corporate sponsors are from an array of industries so that we can better fulfill the needs of our delegates.

We are deeply committed towards being Canada’s most prestigious undergraduate business conference. This year the conference’s theme will be ‘Making a Difference. Empowering Change.’ With this theme in place the committee promises to secure influential speakers, interactive workshops and ample networking opportunities, so that you the delegates will be able to fully reap the benefits of the APEX conference.

The APEX committee has and will continue to work hard to make this year's conference the most memorable and beneficial yet. We invite you to take part in this life changing experience and we look forward to meeting you in March of 2008!
