Agenda

The agenda for the 2025 EMBAC Marketing and Admissions Program features sessions that cover key areas – from branding, marketing, and recruiting strategies and tools to interviewing and class selection. Take a closer look at the 2025 agenda below.

Easy logistics

EMBAC strongly encourages you to make travel arrangements that allow you to arrive on Sunday and stay through the highly rated closing session on Wednesday, which ties the program together and concludes at 10:00 AM.

EMBAC will make your lodging reservations based on the information on the registration form. Please do not call the hotel. The registration fee covers three nights' accommodation (Sunday - Tuesday) with check out on Wednesday. You are responsible for payment of all incidental hotel charges on your own credit card, which needs to be presented to the hotel during check in. 

Nights outside the room block (pre-program and post-program) are $189 per night, plus tax and a $25 destination fee, for the sleeping room only and are based on hotel availability. The hotel will charge pre and/or post nights to your credit card. Please do not make any travel arrangements until EMBAC confirms your pre/post stay availability. Contact linda@embac.org with questions.

Cancellation policy

Full Marketing & Admissions Program fees will be refunded if EMBAC receives cancellation in writing by February 7, 2025. NO REFUNDS will be granted after that time or for “no shows.”
