How to Participate
Participation is free of charge and is by invitation only. Here is how it works:
Step 1: Sign up and complete the online registration form, preferably at least 10 days before the event. Then, we review each profile and call the candidates to gain a detailed understanding of their MBA projects, assess their motivation, and help them identify their options. The conversation is conducted in English.
Exclusive: Access PremiumConsult provides free pre-event online private sessions with school selection experts. It ensures pre-scheduled meetings and fast-track event service. Limited availability.
Step 2: After that, we evaluate each MBA candidate’s preferences and requirements and match them with the most appropriate business schools.
Step 3: Those selected for One-to-One meetings receive a list of their scheduled meetings with business schools. Candidates can change the schools in the list by turning to their dedicated consultant.
Step 4: Participate in the event and find the best university for your future.
In the event of late registration or if we are not able to reach selected candidates over the phone, we offer to consult them on the day of the event in order to determine which schools they can meet.
