This year it is scheduled on February 1st and February 2nd, 2024 to bring together academic students and industry professionals from around the world. Through informative presentations and inspirational speaker sessions, the McMaster World Congress provides student delegates with knowledgeable information that helps them better understand how to adapt to real-world situations. The conference also provides ample opportunity for attendees to meet, socialize and network. The McMaster World Congress is one of the largest and oldest student-run events at McMaster University, promising to deliver functional and valuable sessions each year to students from every faculty. Since 1978, thousands have attended the conference each year, and it has continued to grow and prosper into a more reputable, headlining event. Today, the McMaster World Congress is one of the longest-running business conferences in Canada, and consistently delivers exciting topics on an annual basis.
