The 2010 McCombs Executive Summit aims to bring together our nation’s top business students with the world’s most influential corporate and governmental leaders to discuss issues presently relevant to our nation’s choices. The summit’s theme this year is “Government’s Role in Business.” We will seek to educate students by hosting three breakout sections through which we will examine the normative relationship between government and business in energy, healthcare and finance.

We invite opinions from all points on the spectrum. Students will have the opportunity to directly interact with top business and governmental leaders at a catered lunch for all participants.
