I will be attending the American Marketing Association's International Collegiate Conference from March 12th-14th in Chicago, Illinois. Attending this conference means I will be immersing myself in the evolving world of marketing, learning from experienced speakers, and getting hands on experience through workshops and networking opportunities. I'm so excited to be joining, but there are a lot of costs that come with it. The Access and Opportunity Program at Rice has allotted me $200 and the Virani Business School Experiential Fund has given me $250, but the total expenses is about $900.

Here is the cost breakdown:

$299 Registration Fee

$315 Hotel Stay (March 11th-15th)

~$280 Flight (March 11th-15th)

Extra food + living expenses not included.

I'm fundraising the remaining $450 so that I can cover the remaining costs without breaking the bank. All funds with go directly to me to ensure my access and professional development. Thank you for supporting me and my marketing journey!
