Having very practical, "nitty gritty" experiences from the presenters -- so many times conferences provide high level/academic information, and although that"s useful -- I valued that I walked away from this event with tangible advice and strategies to apply within my own business.

Marketing Campaign Business Interscholastic Competition - University of Pittsburgh
The IBC works with H.S. language and social sciences teachers to introduce international business concepts into their classes using an international case competition. As a prerequisite to participating in the competition, students must have taken four years of a foreign language. This program, now in its eighth year, includes operations and financial support from Bayer Corp. and the Cultural Communications Alliance. This year's H.S. marketing competition will focused on developing a plan to sell daily vitamins in China. The project is introduced to schools each November; schools average 20-40 world language students who form teams of up to six members. In March of each year, the individual schools have in-house competitions to determine which team will move on to the Bayer Competition and compete against the other school districts. Bayer sends employees to act as mentors to the students in each school district and each school has one or two teachers who guide the students and organize the intra-school competition. The final inter-scholastic is hosted by the IBC, CBA, and several Pitt faculty members who serve as judges and consultants.

The Centers for International Business Education and Research (CIBERs) were created under the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988 to increase and promote the nation's capacity for international understanding and economic enterprise. Administered by the U.S. Department of Education under Title VI, Part B of the Higher Education Act of 1965, the CIBER program links the manpower and information needs of U.S. business with the international education, language training, and research capacities of universities across the U.S. Thirty-one universities were designated as centers that serve as regional and national resources to business, students, and academics. Together, the CIBERs form a powerful network focused on improving American competitiveness and providing comprehensive service and programs that help U.S. business succeed in global markets.
