The four-day conference is considered the pinnacle of the PBL experience. It is an opportunity to compete in business related events against the best and brightest in the nation while also promoting leadership, information exchange and new opportunities to implement on the local chapter level.

PBL is a unique organization designed to give college students the competitive edge through career exploration, self-improvement, and community service opportunities.
