4th Annual Australian and New Zealand MBA Directors Forum
21st Century MBA – Innovative and Sustainable?
11 am Wednesday 5 May to 4pm Thursday 6 May 2010
Sebel Pier One Sydney Hotel, 11 Hickson Road, Walsh Bay, Sydney
INVITATION
We are pleased to announce the 2010 Australian and New Zealand MBA Directors Forum. MBA Directors, Program Managers and other staff involved in managing the MBA Program are warmly invited to attend.
VENUE
The Forum will be held at Sebel Pier One Sydney Hotel, a 4.5 star hotel, overlooking Sydney Harbour with absolute waterfront panoramic views and near the heart of the Sydney city centre.
PROGRAM
The topics for the 2010 Forum have been chosen taking into account suggestions made in your feedback sheets from the 2009 Forum. In the light of the global issues facing Australian and NZ MBA Programs, the 2010 program will examine what the MBA needs to include and how to best offer Programs so they meet the needs of people working and managing in the 21st Century.
The program will offer a mix of presentations and discussion sessions and opportunities to talk informally with other MBA Directors and senior Program managers. We would encourage each institution to send several members of their team to take advantage of the opportunities this Forum offers.
