The Wharton Seminars for Business Journalists program, now in its 45th year, offers participants an opportunity to expand their knowledge, increase their exposure to leading experts and broaden their perspectives in a stimulating environment. This one-day program is free of charge and open to a limited number of journalists.

The program will be on March 6 from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. The registration deadline is Feb. 25, 2013.
