Upcoming GMAC Webinars

Latest Learnings from the Graduate Management Education community

GMAC Professional Development Webinars and Virtual Discussion Forums (VDF) offer valuable opportunities for the GME community to connect online.  The webinars and virtual discussion forums are carefully curated to deliver content presented by your peers and industry experts on a wide variety of subjects allowing you to stay abreast of emerging trends, gain valuable insights and practical tips as well as forge connections within the industry.

Virtual Discussion Forum or VDF

The objective of the Virtual Discussion Forum (VDF) is to provide an opportunity for GME professionals to share ideas or specific thoughts around the discussion topic. Discussions are facilitated by the members of the discussion group and participants are encouraged to ask questions, share solutions, best practices and generally contribute to the dialogue. The Virtual Discussion Forum (VDF) is not recorded and provides an open and dynamic platform for participants to engage in real-time conversations without the worry of their interactions being recorded. 

Webinars

Webinars are scheduled presentations with a subject matter expert and an opportunity for Q&A. Webinars are recorded for viewing at a later time.

2024 schedule dates have arrived so add them to your calendar to save the date.  Topics are under development and subject to change so please check back often for updates.
