Benefits
Develop Your Knowledge and Experience
As a potential delegate, attending the University of Waterloo Accounting Conference has so many educational benefits and definitely allows for personal growth! In fact, the accounting-based case competition and the many workshops that UWAC holds are some of the defining factors of our conference. Delegates have the opportunity to develop and show off their soft skills such as presentation skills, teamwork skills, leadership skills, and problem solving skills. As well, delegates can put the knowledge they've gained from school to use by applying it to real life situations and coming up with feasible solutions to interesting problems. With monetary prizes at stake, students must make quick, perceptive decisions while analyzing a large amount of information in a short period of time.
Build Your Network
Delegates have the opportunity to polish and show off their personal networking skills at the conference. By interacting with other students interested in public accounting, students can expand their professional network and create new relationships. When attending the conference, delegates can be sure that they will be introduced to students from different universities in a friendly and professional environment. Overall, UWAC is a great way to meet new and inspirational people from all across Canada!
Meet a Match
In addition to meeting other students, delegates can also meet representatives from different firms as well. UWAC is all about making connections, and as such, students have the opportunity to interact and mingle with professionals and firm representatives. Through mingling sessions, social lunches, formal dinners, and interactive workshops, delegates can gain first-hand insight on the industry and discover more about the potential career paths available to them.
