Master’s Leadership Conference

The Master’s Leadership Conference is our flagship event for those with strategic oversight of the business master’s portfolio

The GMAC Master’s Leadership Conference is a premier event designed specifically for school professionals with strategic responsibility for business master’s programs around the world. Join and network with like-minded professionals, explore market trends and gain in-depth perspectives around the challenges and opportunities faced by this growing segment of the graduate management education industry.

At the Master’s Leadership Conference, you will:

  • Explore issues of relevance to specialised and generalist business master’s programs (eg MSc/MS)
  • Join strategic conversations about the challenges and opportunities facing this segment
  • Learn about trends and developments impacting the industry
  • Network with senior staff from business schools around the world

Ideal audience

Academic and administrative program-level deans and directors for business master’s programs.

Note:  the Master’s Leadership Conference has been developed to focus on the needs of non-MBA business master’s programs. For leaders of MBA programs, the GMAC Leadership Conference, offered in partnership with the MBA Roundtable, may be a better fit.
