AnderTech mixer
The fall conference closes with hands-on AI workshops: AI Essentials, then AI Builder.
Tech + Society ConferenceWhat we do
Three pillars, one path through the MBA: get fluent in tech, get in the room with the people who hire, then practice until the real thing feels routine.
Educational programming
Tech is a big industry with a lot of doors. Our sessions give you the vocabulary, the frameworks and the hands-on practice to walk through them, whatever you did before Anderson.
Five tech deep-dives on how the internet, storage, cloud compute, data systems and software delivery really work, each paired with a strategy case.
Write a product spec, prototype an MVP with AI tools, learn SQL, ship a website and practice system design.
Walk through how a function really works, from idea to design to engineering to QA.
Practitioners on tech and entertainment, sports, policy, global markets and more.
Fireside chats with experienced executives, and tech companies pitching their latest products on campus.
The Tech + Society Conference each fall and the Innovate Tech Conference each winter, both with the Easton Technology Management Center, and the annual Emerging Tech Conference with the Entrepreneur Association each spring.
Networking opportunities
Recruiting runs on relationships. We put you in the room with recruiters, founders, alumni and each other, early enough for it to matter.
Networking with alumni working in tech, plus Startup Career Nights with founders.
Go to companies, or have them come to campus, to see the work and meet the teams.
Curated group trips to LA Tech Week and other local tech conferences, plus regular visits to see emerging tech deployed at scale.
First-year and second-year socials, cross-school mixers with Marshall and Haas, and a quarterly mixer pairing MBAs with engineering, law, medical and film students.
Join the program at the start of the year, with check-ins along the way.
Joint events with other Anderson groups, including the Entrepreneur Association, women in tech and the identity clubs.
Career development
Interviews are a skill. We run the workshops, mock interviews and case practice that turn interest into offers, and members get a library of recruiting resources on top.
Write a tech-ready resume and cover letter, and learn the professionalism recruiters expect.
Coaching from second-years, speed behavioral mocks, alumni mock interviews and strategy casing practice.
Panels on full-time re-recruiting, a workshop for international students, and company panels with the employers that hire most.
Monthly virtual sessions where members write and publish a LinkedIn post about what they built that month.
Recruiting guides, trackers and upcoming events, available after you sign in.
