ENHANCED WEBSITE SERVICES FOR EASING YOUR WORKLOADThe MBA Tour is embarking on a two-year investment plan that willtransform website in three major areas. We will invest in technology tomake student user experience more mobile friendly from registration toevent management. We will also invest in a more mobile friendlyenvironment for university users that will include a mobile application formanaging and recording the quality of interactions with students. Inaddition, we are enhancing the business school profiles to showcase allprograms and to allow students to reach the details of those programswhile at events. Finally, with the easy availability of the internet at venuelocations, The MBA Tour will migrate to on-line events allowing studentsand schools to change and confirm meeting schedules in real time using awaiting list to fill meeting schedules efficiently. Be sure to learn moreabout these planned features when you meet with your accountmanager. ENHANCED WEBSITE SERVICES FOR SCHOOL REPRESENTATIVESAND CANDIDATES In line with our philosophy of maximizing school and candidate interaction,we continue to build more functionality for school representatives to createtheir own conference schedules and better manage their travel plans.Deadlines, personalized schedules, and for Travel Package participants –hotel and flight reservations are all found in your online portal. Wecontinue to improve the coordinated release of panel assignments, schoolpresentations and MeetUps by assigning school presentation times andpanelists before schools send MeetUp invitations. Schedulingenhancements will allow candidates to reserve time for schoolpresentations, MeetUps, and panels on their schedule. The MBA Tourfinds that prospective students are more likely to stay longer at an event tofulfill a pre-planned schedule. With personalized schedules for students,The MBA Tour can collect and share more data on candidate preferencesincluding in which presentations and MeetUps students are interested. New filtered downloads from the dashboard will make it easier tocommunicate with students pre and post event. In the coming recruitingseason, your downloads will be filtered to support: 1. The registration of people who did not attend2. The people who attended but were not scanned by your school3. The people you scanned4. The people from registration who said they planned to apply to yourprogram With automated MeetUp invitations, the volume of emails sent to studentswill be very high. To prevent The MBA Tour server from spammingstudents, we will now send students updates periodically alerting them ofnew invitations from schools. Students will still need to read the invitationbefore confirming an invitation. Schools are still able to send customemails, and students will still read the custom portion of the email beforeconfirming an invitation. New mobile friendly university profiles continue to help students sortthrough information about schools more effectively. Please ensure yourprofile is current supporting admission information, special programs,concentrations and career opportunities. If you plan to have yourbusiness Masters programs represented at our event, please make surethere is an accompanying profile. Best wishes,Peter von Loesecke,CEO and Managing Director

The MBA Tour was founded in 1993, and made itsinaugural tour in Latin America. The first tour had fairs,meetings, and workshops, and focused more ondialogue with candidates. The return for participatingschools was very high. Many things have changed in the25 years we have organized tours. Technology hasmade it possible for anyone with internet to findinformation about business schools, but our foundationshave remained the same: facilitating personal interactionand connecting talented prospective MBA students andbusiness schools through our tours.
