TheMBATourMatch A service for schools that do not have the resources or time to find and schedule candidates for MeetUps or MeetUp Networking events. A school will determine which type of candidates to target and we will manage invitations and confirmations for the event. During the busy travel season, The MBA Tour staff can assist in confirming MeetUps until the day before an event to take advantage of all registrants who qualify for or are interested in your program. USD 500 per event. The MBA Tour was founded in 1993, and made its inaugural tour in Latin America. A region in the early 90s fast turning to privatization, and the demand for managers who could lead the transition and manage enterprises in a competitive environment was huge and unmet. The first tour had fairs, meetings, and workshops, and focused more on dialogue with candidates. The return for participating schools was very high. Many things have changed in the 20 years we have organized tours. Technology has made it possible for anyone with internet to find information about business schools, but our foundations have remained the same; facilitating personal interaction and connecting talented prospective MBA students and business schools through our tours. We take pride in ensuring schools can focus on recruiting prospective students and supporting our travelers throughout the entire tour with logistics, introductions to key contacts in local markets, and event support

3 EVENT FORMATS DIFFERENTIATE YOUR BUSINESS SCHOOL BRAND THROUGH OUR COMPREHENSIVE EVENT FORMATS SCHOOL PRESENTATIONS Admissions representatives regard the presentations as one of our most valuable conference formats. The presentations are an opportunity to showcase your unique program aspects to a group of prospective students. You have 30 minutes (including transition time) in a private room to highlight the features of your program. Typically there are three to five other universities presenting in concurrent sessions. Individual School Presentations are offered at most conferences. USD 500 per presentation. PANEL PRESENTATIONS Panel Presentations are minute sessions that cover valuable business school admissions topics and answer a wide range of MBA applicant questions. Schools have the opportunity to participate on the panels and share topic advice with a large group of prospective students. Panels are complimentary and any participating admissions representative can be a panelist; sign up online after registering for events. Topics in the past include: Preparing your Application: Advice from Admissions Directors, Financing your MBA, and different regional panels. The MBA Tour provides guiding talking points for all panels. NETWORKING SESSION The session is strategically placed at the end of the MBA conferences. This allows candidates to first gather information from the School Presentations and Panels in order to prepare for speaking with you one to one. During the MBA Networking Session you and your alumni have the opportunity to meet with a large number of applicants in a short period of time. MEETUP We offer dedicated time and space for one to one and small group meetings with top candidates during our conferences. Conferences will have allotted time in the networking room to meet with high quality candidates that are pre-selected and invited by you prior to the event. Building on the 2014 MeetUp re-design, /2016 enhancements to MeetUp include: enhanced search tools, improved ing flexibility and new matching parameters. By using MeetUp, you can gain access to detailed candidate information: resume, student interest in your school, student intent to apply to your program, GMAT status, work experience and more. Use this comprehensive candidate information to help filter through to your ideal candidates! USD 500 per event, or discounted to USD 100 when purchased with a school presentation. The MBA Tour offers TheMBATourMatch, a premium service where we schedule your MeetUps on your behalf with candidates matching your school s selection criteria. USD 500, see page 5 for more details. MEETUP NETWORKING EVENTS The MeetUp Networking format includes panels and a room for one to one and small group MeetUps instead of a fair. Some cities will also include school presentations. This format is geared towards smaller conferences with candidates and provides a more intimate environment for connecting with future applicants.
