I have heard that the market badges for professionals run somewhere in the $300-$500 range. If we/Darden worked to set up substantive internships with the companies where we have relationships, it would be possible to get badges through those companies. I would expect that the students would be more than willing to cover the costs.uvajdmba2013http://www.blogger.com/profile/15711182425953004600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4259107653253795105.post-43571842773383170932010-07-04T10:44:18.181-04:002010-07-04T10:44:18.181-04:00One thing that you fail to mention or take into account in your complaints and calculations about how cheaply you could attend the Festival yourself...is the fact that you could not attend the Festival on your own. The Festival is for industry professionals only. You are a student and there is no mechanism by which you can attend. In order to get accreditation or a market badge you must demonstrate that you are a legitimate entertainment industry professionalAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
