EMBAC offers great in-person opportunities to network and advance professional development – from the industry-event-of-the-year, the annual conference, to the Marketing and Admissions Program to regional meetings. EMBAC also recognizes the convenience and ease of virtual offerings, which help make great content and enlightening discussions more accessible to members. With that in mind, EMBAC has designed several different types of virtual offerings that explore the latest trends, look at topics of current importance, and promote member engagement and discussion.

Delivered in a synchronous (live) format, VDFs are free sessions, one hour or less in duration, typically structured as a facilitated discussion around a topic of importance to the working professional education industry. Some of these VDFs involve an expert, others are purely intended to be a sharing of challenges, insights, and ideas among participants.

EMBAC will continue to add new VDFs in 2024!

Learning and teaching through the mass media: Brainstorm with the Financial Times

By their nature, EMBA Programs bring the real world into the classroom, a focus that students value. How can you apply current trends and events in courses and throughout the program to elevate the experiences of EMBA students? What tools are available? In this session, Andrew Jack will share the wealth of educational resources, including business school caselets, available through the Financial Times to help business schools and EMBA Programs make learning even more meaningful.
