Registration for Brock University Accounting Conferece (BUAC) Deadline on October 25th, 2013
Welcome to the opening of the fifth annual inter-collegiate Brock University Accounting Conference (BUAC), held from November 29 - December 1, 2013. The 2013 executive team, along with our wonderful case writers are very excited to announce the theme of this year’s conference as "Merging of the Minds". BUAC will serve as a platform for students from across Canada to network and expand their professional connections. Our goal is to educate and inspire students on the importance of the accounting profession through keynote speakers, workshops and a case competition.
Participating in a conference is a great way to challenge yourself and apply what you have learned in the classroom to a business simulation that emulates a real world situation. Delegates will also get the chance to network with individuals in the accounting profession and create lasting relationships with students from various post-secondary institutions nationwide.
Coming to the conference are extraordinary professionals such as Jason Burgess from Deloitte, Director and VP, with great experience in the tourism and gaming industry. Delegates will learn interesting facts about the Niagara casinos while being in the heart of a Canadian tourist hot spot. Also coming to BUAC 2013 is CPA Canada to speak about their new merge, providing delegates the opportunity to learn more about the CPA designation.

Our school may send up to a maximum of three teams to participate in any division.
Junior Division: students from 1st and 2nd year of study

As the largest student-run marketing conference in Canada, we attract some of the most intelligent, motivated, and innovative students from schools scattered across the country. With 29 years of experience driving us, we've upped our game this year by overhauling our inaugural challenge, signing some of the biggest speakers in the industry, as well as preparing some of the craziest events and competitions we've ever thrown.
We could drop names, like the CMO of the Canadian Olympic Committee, or the Chief Brand & Marketing Officer for Tim Horton’s - or you could fill out the delegate app, and come experience it all for yourself. Applications are out now, and you can get more information from your school's Campus Ambassador - don't hesitate to ask us anything. Apps will have a hard deadline of October 23, procrastination is not recommended!
Although we may go to different schools, you are all more than welcome to join our clique. Marketing supersedes the differences between schools, so let's start a discussion. Join us this January for the next movement in marketing: QMAC - Rewriting The Brand Experience. See you soon!
External applications are released on October 9th, with a deadline on October 23rd.
