Welcome Address
Dear Delegate,
Welcome to the fifth annual PhD to Consulting Conference. First of all, we would like
to congratulate you on being selected, as we received hundreds of outstanding
applications.
The PtC Conference was first held in 2012 and has evolved markedly since its first
instalment. From just a handful of companies and fewer than 70 attendees, it has
grown to a dozen companies and more than 170 delegates. The main focus of the
conference has stayed the same: to provide a platform for discussion and networking
to researchers and professionals from consulting firms. We are very proud to
welcome many excellent speakers from internationally renowned companies, many
of which have made the transition from PhD graduates to consultants themselves.
You will have the opportunity to learn about specific companies, the recruitment
process, how to apply skills gained in your PhD to consulting and to make lasting
connections with other attendees and the company representatives.
We would like to use this opportunity to express our gratitude to our sponsors,
OC&C, Cranmore and Alcimed for making this event possible. Furthermore, we
would like to thank all speakers and other company representatives for making the
time to come here today.
We hope that you will enjoy the PtC Conference 2016 and that you will be able to
leverage the opportunities offered today to build a fruitful career.
