THE MBA TOUR ADVANTAGELETTER FROM THE MANAGING DIRECTORThe MBA Tour is pleased to announce our new website services and conference schedule for the summer and fall 2014 and spring 2015. We are very excited about adding additional conferences bringing our total global tour schedule to 59 conferences. The MBA Tour is also pleased to present enhanced website services that will provide you with more opportunities to differentiate your program and target those candidates who are more likely to choose your program. On behalf of our entire team, we look forward to your participation with The MBA Tour this season!
CHANGES TO OUR CONFERENCE SCHEDULE We are adding new cities to India (Kolkata), Middle East (Kuwait City) and US Tours (Seattle) and returning to Bangkok on the Asia Tour. We will continue meetings with company representatives across Asia. In India, Kolkata will replace Ahmedabad as the 5th tour city.
CONFERENCE FORMAT CHANGESThe MBA Tour will continue MeetUp integration into our Summer and Fall schedule. Starting in 2014 The MBA Tour will synchronize all MeetUp times during the conference with conference panels and school presentations. We will also synchronize all MeetUps schools choose to schedule during the networking portion of the conference. Out of consideration for other schools, schools that may be understaffed in any MBA Tour should use MeetUp to invite small groups of candidates to meet with them during the networking portion of the conference. The MBA Tour will now allocate the networking (Fair) room for scheduling all MeetUps during conference hours. Outside conference hours, schools should feel comfortable scheduling MeetUps in accordance with their objectives and schedules. The MBA Tour will schedule MeetUp only networking events in our summer and fall schedule in smaller markets. Be sure to check our schedule and tour itinerary for MeetUp only events.
SOCIAL MEDIAOur networks and integration of social media activities at the events continue to grow as social media becomes an increasing applicant resource and tool to connect with potential candidates. We now have dedicated staff at many of our events who “live tweet” the conference, sharing real time quotes and insight on our social media channels from the panels, presentations and fair. This year we are offering Social Media & Online Marketing packages that create school specific viral media targeted directly to attendees coming to the events and our broader network of 100k+ contacts. More details about the packages on page 7 and 8.
ENHANCED WEBSITE SERVICESIn keeping with our current philosophy of maximizing school and candidate interaction, we are building more opportunities for students to create their own conference schedules. For schools, we will better coordinate the release of panel assignments, school presentation and MeetUps by assigning school presentation times and panelists before schools send MeetUp invitations. For
candidates, we are designing a new scheduling application for them to reserve time for school presentation, MeetUps and panels on their schedule. The MBA Tour finds that prospective students are more likely to stay longer to fulfill a pre-planned schedule than an unplanned schedule.
The MBA Tour will also share more information with schools on candidates who indicate in our new conference schedule builder they “like” (plan to attend) school presentations and MeetUps prior to the events. For schools purchasing MeetUp, The MBA Tour will provide candidate data for those who wish to attend your school presentation or who wish to MeetUp with you. We will keep these statistics and more on your website Dashboard to record your activity at The MBA Tour conferences.
Another very notable enhancement for schools is the ability for partnered schools to host organized receptions. This new enhancement will allow schools to pool their marketing efforts, target registered candidates, and then send out invitations to come to a reception scheduled near an event. Candidates will also have the option of “liking” (planning to attend) these receptions in their new conference schedule builder on our website. For helping students sort through information about schools, we continue to upgrade our website university profile displays and search function to include showcasing multiple programs within a school. To ensure the information on your program is up to date and easy to manage, we continue to develop an auto input data system that takes publicly available internet data for you to review and approve during tour registration. We will also present information on multiple MBA programs including full time, part time and executive. We have also removed required fields so you may complete your profiles more quickly!
The MBA Tour encourages all candidates registering for our conferences to upload a resume to enhance the information about them. If your program does not have the resources to sort through registration data to find qualified candidates, The MBA Tour is offering “TheMBATourMatch”, a service in conjunction with MeetUp to help you maximize the registrant database for optimal number of qualified candidate meetings at the events.
Best wishes,Peter von Loesecke,CEO and Managing Director

The MBA Tour was founded in 1993,
and made its inaugural tour in Latin America. A region in the early
90s fast turning to privatization, and the demand for managers
who could lead the transition and manage enterprises in a
competitive environment was huge and unmet. The first tour had
fairs, meetings, and workshops, and focused more on dialogue
with candidates. The return for participating schools was very
high. Many things have changed in the 20 years we have organized
tours. Technology has made it possible for anyone with internet to
find information about business schools, but our foundations have
remained the same; facilitating personal interaction and connecting
talented prospective MBA students and business schools through
our tours. We take pride in
ensuring schools can focus
on recruiting prospective
students and supporting our
travelers throughout the
entire tour with logistics,
introductions to key contacts
in local markets, and event
support.

ADDITIONAL APPLICANTWORKSHOPS
In select cities we organize ad-ditional applicant workshops for you to meet candidates outside the main conference and network with local MBA applicant advising centers.

TheMBATourMatch

USD 500 per event.
We got one Full-Time MBA student from NYC which was great. We plan to continue working with The MBA Tour in 2014 using their MeetUp & Match offerings to help us in targeting high quality and well prepared candidates.- Lindsay Duke, Durham Business School
2014-20156
EVENT FORMATSDIFFERENTIATE YOUR BUSINESS SCHOOL BRAND THROUGH OUR COMPREHENSIVE EVENT FORMATS
SCHOOL PRESENTATIONS
Admissions representatives regard the presentations as one of our most useful conference formats. The presentations are an opportunity to showcase your unique program aspects to a group of prospective stu-dents. You have 30 minutes in a private room to highlight the features of your program. Typically there are three to five other universities presenting in concurrent sessions. Individual School Presentations are now offered at most conferences in 2014 for USD 500 per presentation.
PANEL PRESENTATIONS
Panel Presentations are 30-45 minute sessions that cover valu-able business school admissions topics and answer a wide range of MBA applicant questions. Schools have the opportunity to participate on the panels and share topic advice with a large group of prospective students. Panels are complimentary and any par-ticipating admissions representative can be a panelist; sign up online after registering for events. Topics in the past include: How Admission Decisions are Made, Managing Your MBA Career Search and Financing your MBA. The MBA Tour provides guiding talking points for all panels.
NETWORKING SESSION
The session is strategically placed at the end of the MBA conferences. This allows candidates to first gather information from the School Presentations and Panels in order to prepare for speaking with you one to one. During the MBA Networking Session you and your alumni have the opportunity to meet with a large number of applicants in a short period of time.
MEETUP
We offer dedicated time and space for one to one and small group meetings with top candidates during our conferences. Confer-ences will have allotted time in the networking room to meet with high quality candidates that are pre-selected and invited by you prior to the event. Building on MeetUp 2.0 re-design, 2014 enhancements to MeetUp include: grouping students to promote multiple programs, bulk MeetUp invitations and enhanced search and filter tools.
By using MeetUp, you can gain access to detailed candidate informa-tion: resume, student interest in your school, student intent to apply to your program, GMAT status, work experience, geographical preference, and more. Use this comprehensive candidate information to help filter through to your ideal candidates!
USD 500 per event, or discounted to USD 100 when purchased with a school presentation.
The MBA Tour offers TheMBATourMatch, a premium service where we schedule your MeetUps on your behalf with candidates matching your school’s selection criteria. USD 500, see page 5 for more details.
MEETUP NETWORKING EVENTS
The MeetUp Network-ing format includes panels and a room for one to one and small group MeetUps instead of a fair. Some cities will also include school presen-tations. This format is geared towards smaller conferences with 100-150 candidates and provides a more intimate environment for connecting with future applicants. You will use the MeetUp system to pre-select and invite candidates to meet with you at this event. For list of MeetUp Networking cities, see page 14.
SPECIALIZED MS FAIR
These are 45 mins to 1 hour mini fairs that take place before the main MBA con-ference. This a great oppor-tunity for you to target can-didates for your specialized MS programs in addition to the MBA program. For list of cities with the MS fair option, see page 14.

PAYMENT AND CANCELLATION POLICYDeposit/Invoicing: Registrations received prior to May 30 will reserve a USD 1,500 deposit invoice per tour, to secure the early bird pricing. Registrations received after May30 will be sent full balance invoices. All invoices are due upon receipt, and payment must be received prior to the event, to avoid a USD 325 late fee, per event. If a school fails to pay the full balance prior to any conference, the MBA Tour reserves the right to restrict the university from downloading attendee pre-or post registration files.
Cancellation: The school agrees that if it cancels its participation between 90 and 60 days prior to the start of the tour, 25% of the tour /event fees will be charged. If a school cancels its participation within 60 days prior to the start of a tour, 100% of the tour /event fees will be charged. Furthermore, the school will reimburse The MBA Tour, INC for all loss, liability, damages, and expenses which The MBA Tour, INC incurs or sustains as a result of a cancellation of participation by the school at any time after the non-refundable USD 1,500.00 deposit is due.
Option Payments: Once a university representative has signed up for “options” (extra activities, professional or cultural) on a tour, that person is committed to paying any fees associated with that option. If a representative wants to cancel their participation in a paid option, they cannot receive a refund if pre-payment has been required for that option. If payment is not received for the selected option, the representative will not be allowed to participate.

JOIN THE TOURTHEMBATOUR.COM/JOIN TO PARTICIPATE IN A TOUR OR CONFERENCEBusiness schools interested in The MBA Tour must register and apply online: www.TheMBATour.com/join. MBA programs are selected on their qual-ity, their commitment to international recruiting, services for international students, and the diversity (curriculum, philosophy, program cost, geography) that they would add to the tour. With few exceptions, the MBA programs included in our events are taught in English.
OUR SELECTION PROCESSThe MBA Tour limits the number of business schools on a tour to ensure that each program has good exposure at our conferences and receives the same level of high service that we aim to provide. Priority is given to returning schools. New schools are selected on the basis of several criteria:
BUSINESS SCHOOL REPRESENTATIVESRepresentatives attending the events organized by The MBA Tour must be full-time, campus-based professionals and should have extensive knowledge of their programs and admissions requirements. Throughout the tour, univer-sity representatives have the opportunity to collaborate in panels and school presentations that orient students and colleagues to current information and trends. It is important that the person designated by the university to travel with us be capable of contributing to an ongoing professional dialogue with prospective students and local colleagues about admissions issues and in-novations in MBA programs.
LOCAL QUALIFICATIONS• USA: AACSB accreditation• Europe and UK: EQUIS, AMBA or EFMD accreditation• For those countries without regional MBA accreditation: all global qualifications must be met; must be recognized and respected by peer schools in country; must have local certification or accredited partner program• Will draw qualified students to the event that otherwise might not attend
In some of our local markets, there are schools that will add value to our tour events by targeting specific populations of students.Examples of these schools include:• MBA programs geared towards underrepresented minorities• MBA programs geared towards women• MBA programs with unique academic or practical opportunities• Local MBA programs that offer “at home” opportunitiesIf you are a school applying to one of our tours for the first time, your applica-tion will be reviewed by our Advisory Board, and we will notify you of the decision.
GLOBAL QUALIFICATIONS• Length of time in MBA market• Offer a Full Time MBA Program• Offer a campus-based MBA program• Hold non-profit status
