Join us at the XXIV NOVA Conference taking place from November 15-17, 2024, at the campuses of Harvard and MIT Sloan in Boston. This annual event is organized by current MBA students and the NOVA community. Columbia has been a fundamental of the NOVA-MBA Association, with strong roots in its founding and a legacy of impactful contributions. Many CBS alumni have co-organized past NOVA conferences and returned as inspiring speakers, creating a lasting bond between our community and the association.

For Columbia alumni, the NOVA Conference offers a unique platform to:

- Reconnect with fellow Columbia alumni and expand your network within the wider NOVA community, which unites over 2,500 MBA graduates from top business schools around the world.

- Gain insights from influential leaders in business, fashion, sports, sustainability, and more, as Italy’s modern growth and enduring traditions are explored through engaging discussions.

- Network in high-impact settings, from a cocktail reception hosted with the Italian Consulate to a gala dinner at the iconic Harvard Faculty Club.
