The MBA Tour organizes conferences with the world's top business programs. The upcoming events in India this September will feature 45 Business Schools from the USA, Canada, Europe, Australia and Asia.

We conducted an interview with Peter von Loesecke, CEO of The MBA Tour, and Meredith Curtin Siegel, Senior Associate Director and India Tour Leader, to describe the key benefits of attending an MBA Conference and provide some insight into the MBA decision process.

1. What does The MBA Tour provide for Business Schools and prospective MBA students in India?
The MBA Tour allows direct interaction between applicants and Admissions Directors. Our events enable prospective MBAs to meet the decision makers and provide the opportunity for schools to communicate their admissions policies, give information about their programs, and specifically, how they can benefit Indian students.

2. What B-Schools do you work with?
We work with a breadth of top business programs from around the world. Some of the schools attending our events in India this year are London Business School, ESADE, Cornell, NYU, Duke, Berkeley, Georgetown, Carnegie Mellon, Purdue, UCLA, University of Southern California and many others.

3. What cities are you traveling to and when?
Our India tour this year starts in New Delhi on September 25, then stops in Bangalore on September 27 and ends in Mumbai on September 30.
We will be back in India in January 2007, starting January 12 in Mumbai, January 15 in Bangalore, and January 18 in Delhi.
More details on these events, including location and time are listed on our website: www.thembatour.com

4. How do prospective MBAs benefit from attending a MBA Conference in India?
Our events allow for personal interactions between prospective candidates and Admissions Directors. The program format of seminars, round table discussions and an MBA fair insures every prospective candidate the opportunity to speak personally with a business school representative.
