For marketing students Abdallah Ndume and David Haydu, the 2026 National Sales Network Professional Conference in Washington, D.C., was about more than adding an experience to their resumes. It was about expanding their perspective on what comes next.

Alongside Dr. Vanja Djuric-Zoric, the students joined more than 2,600 professionals for three days of networking, professional development and conversations with leaders across industries. From career planning and leadership to building strategic relationships and professional visibility, they walked away with new insights — and a bigger vision for their futures.

Dr. Djuric-Zoric shared, “Experiential learning is about opening doors for our students. Experiences like NSN give them the opportunity to see what is possible, build relationships that can shape their careers, and recognize that they belong on a national and global stage. Our goal is to make sure UA students have access to those opportunities — and are prepared to make the most of them." 💬
