Welcome to our first ever Boutique Consulting Networking Event at LBS.

This Friday, we are looking forward to hosting 20+ companies on-campus to meet with you.
These companies will be small to medium sized consulting and professional services firms,
including those with a niche or specialist focus, as well as internal corporate strategy teams.
There will also be a small number of executive search firms with a focus on the
consulting/strategy sector present.

Our aim is to provide a networking platform for those firms that may not run structured
recruiting but who are keen to build a talent pipeline across one or several experience levels.
This will mean that not all firms have current job opportunities on Career Central, but all will be
keen to discuss potential future opportunities for full-time roles, internships and projects.

A couple of important things to note:

• The dress code is business casual, so there is no need to wear a suit (unless you want to)

• The event starts at 4pm and we encourage you to come early to miss the mid-point
crush. The event will close at 6pm sharp.

• The companies will be spread throughout the Dining Room and Marquee so make sure
you visit both spaces!

• As many of the companies are new to campus, they may not be fully aware of LBS’
programme portfolio. We have shared a programme overview with them, but please do
take time to explain your experience profile when you speak with company
representatives

• Companies have been sent the event CV book so there is no need to bring copies of your
CV with you (unless you missed the CV upload deadline)

• During the event, there will be live tweeting, stories on Snapchat, and photo coverage
on Instagram @Londonbschool. Please take part by using #LBSCareersEvent and share
with @LBS_Careers and @LBS.

We hope you enjoy the event!
