INVITATION
We are pleased to announce the 2009 Australian 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 the beautiful Mantra on Salt Beach Resort, located right on the beach at Kingscliff, just 15 minutes from the Gold Coast airport.
PROGRAM
The topics for the 2009 Forum have been chosen taking into account issues raised in your feedback sheets and in the open space session at the 2008 Forum. In the light of the global financial crisis, increasing concerns about the impacts of climate change and the need to manage more holistically, the 2009 program will examine what the MBA of the 21st century needs to offer its students and ways of delivering outcomes in diverse markets.
The program will offer a mix of presentations, 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.
