Professional Development Resources


  • AIGAC TALK: Our Flagship ForumAIGAC TALK serves as our premier platform for knowledge exchange. Over the past year, we have hosted more than 10 sessions covering critical areas such as legal and financial best practices and strategies for navigating complex client scenarios. To ensure our members stay ahead of industry shifts, we frequently invite admissions committees to introduce new programs and host industry experts to discuss the evolving landscape of post-MBA career opportunities.
  • Summer with the Schools – Led by Andrea Sparrey, Summer with the Schools is a long-running Professional Development endeavor run by Andrea Sparrey. Under 'Summer with the Schools,' we invite admissions committee members from the top MBA programs to share changes to their application process, insights about the past application cycle and expectations regarding the upcoming cycle. This members-only event is an incredible opportunity to engage with key admissions decision-makers while also sharing our own insights including our intimate knowledge of what applicants think about the application process.
