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 types of virtual offerings that explore the latest trends, address topics of current importance, and promote member engagement and discussion.

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

Look for new VDFs in 2026!
