Graduate Business Conference

Every spring, the GBF sponsors the annual Graduate Business Conference (GBC) attended by the student leaders from the world’s most prominent business schools. By exposing student leaders to their peers from across the globe, the GBC creates a unique environment for leaders who share common situations to engage in dialogue and debate issues facing management education and our society. The conference is filled with workshops, inspirational speakers from industry and government, networking opportunities, and cultural experiences designed to develop the individual to be a more effective leader in academia and society.

Since its founding in 1983, the GBF has hosted:

• +2500 student leaders participating in GBC conferences

• +30 countries with participating business schools

• +300 forums and workshops

• +100 corporate executives, government officials and other leaders

• Countless projects around the world inspired by GBF participation

Through connecting a global network of student leaders from all conferences, the GBF seeks to support continued learning and leadership development resulting in a network of individuals who can see the global perspective, appreciate cultural differences, operate on the global stage, and influence across borders.

For almost 30 years, this has fuelled uniqueness, bold change, and exceptional will to succeed in thousands of tomorrow’s leaders and has made a positive impact in graduate management education, business and society.
