#AIGAC2020. The two-day AIGAC virtual\nconference 2020 (May 18 and 19) was a huge success. This is the first time I\nattended a virtual conference, and the learning experience was as rewarding as\nthe in-person conferences I had attended in the past. It was an incredible show\nput together by our conference team and other AIGAC members. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over the last two days, 50 admissions officers from the top European and US Business\nschools and 66 AIGAC members attended the conference. The wide variety of interactive sessions, Breakout Rooms, and panel discussions\non crucial topics such as the impact of the COVID-19 on admissions, leveraging\ntechnology by business schools in program delivery, and admission and program\ntrends in recent times offered us valuable insights from key stakeholders in\nthe business school ecosystem. We had two highly insightful panel discussions\non the changing global circumstances amid COVID<\/a>-19-\none with US B-schools representatives, and the other with European B-schools\nthat addressed many concerns we had about admissions in these unprecedented\ntimes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n There were three first time initiatives\nin this conference. First, three deans of leading\nbusiness schools (IESE, Ross, and Fuqua) were brought together in Dean's Panel\nto discuss their vision for the future and the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on\nthe business education now and in the coming years. Second, there was a panel\ndiscussion on the innovative measures schools are adopting to deliver classroom\neducation as well as other events (Assessment Day, Welcome Weekend, School\nTours, etc.) online. Third, for the first time, AIGAC brought\ntogether applicants, consultants, and admissions representatives on one\nplatform in the Applicant Fair<\/a>. Over 700 applicants participated in this one-hour\nfair. In the two breakout sessions, admissions representatives from the top\nbusiness schools (Tuck, Kellogg, Duke, Georgetown, Columbia, and UCLA) answered\nquestions from applicants that provided applicants and consultants insights on relevant\nissues and crucial topics amid COVID-19 crisis. The president of AIGAC, Nupur Gupta, was the\nmoderator who asked questions on behalf of applicants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Overall,\nthe conference was an astounding success and a great learning experience for us\nas consultants in these challenging times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Stay tuned to more\ndetails on the key takeaways from the conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This post<\/a>\nfirst appeared in myEssayReview<\/a> blog.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" #AIGAC2020.
