Host an LCS

Partner with us to inspire the business leaders of tomorrow. 

Beta Gamma Sigma is excited to expand our programming by hosting two Leadership Conferences annually in partnership with collegiate chapters as host schools. These two-day events join students for networking, skill-building, and expert insights from dynamic speakers. Partner with us to bring this impactful conference to your campus! 





By hosting a BGS Leadership Conference, your university or college will: 

  • Gain visibility as a leader in cultivating leadership among business students.

  • Showcase your campus to future business professionals and leaders. 

  • Provide your BGS members with access to registration and programming. 

  • Receive a complimentary Silver Sponsor package that includes an exhibit booth for you to connect with attendees. 

  • Be featured across BGS social media channels, our website, and event materials. 



For more information, check out the Chapter Partnership Packet.

"Hosting the conference was an opportunity to co-brand with BGS - an organization that shares our values around business operating as a force for good and committing to the development of business leaders who will make meaningful societal impact. In hosting the conference and inviting other key business stakeholders and successful alumni to speak on panels and inspire the very best and brightest of our students, we are able to better engage with our own alums and share their wisdom and best practices with a broader audience of motivated students."

"We enjoyed working closely with the BGS team to curate an event that would allow for the exchange of innovative ideas and best practices, while fostering connections between participants from across the U.S. and around the world. This experience reminded us of how expansive the BGS community can be and the importance of building relationships amongst students from diverse institutions, cities, countries, and even stages in life. We are proud to have played a part in providing this type of experience and hope that other universities will consider becoming future collaborators to bring this event to their campuses in future years."
