Overview of the Conference

The GMAC Annual Conference is our flagship gathering, bringing together business school professionals across admissions, marketing, program management, and leadership, along with industry partners from across the graduate management education community.

Throughout the conference, dedicated networking, exhibit experiences, and shared programming create natural opportunities to connect, exchange ideas, and build relationships that continue beyond the event.
