The Forté Foundation has announced the tour dates for its annual events – called the Forté Forums – geared toward women who are considering an MBA degree.  This year, Forums are scheduled for eight U.S. cities, Toronto and London:

Chicago: August 20
Boston: August 22
Washington, DC: August 22
Atlanta: August 23
Dallas: August 27
San Francisco: August 29
Los Angeles: August 30
New York City I: September 4
New York City II: September 5
Toronto: September 6
London: TBD

Each Forum runs from 6-9pm and consists of three elements: a school fair and light refreshments, MBA Alumnae Panel and Admissions Panel.  While the panels have scheduled time slots, school and exhibitor tables are open until the close of each event.  Representatives from top MBA programs in the U.S., including Chicago Booth, Columbia, Darden, Fuqua,  Harvard, IESE, Kellogg, MIT Sloan, Ross, UCLA Anderson, Haas, Tuck, Tepper, NYU Stern, Wharton and Yale SOM, will be in attendance.

Forté encourages any woman who has considered a graduate business degree to register.  Forum participants will:

  • Hear advice and stories from MBA women across multiple industries and career stages
  • Learn how an MBA can help them succeed in virtually any career or industry – even the non-profit sector
  • Meet women who are also considering the MBA degree
  • Connect with admissions staff from leading business schools in Europe and North America
  • Find the school that’s the right fit

The cost to attend a Forté Forum is free for pre-registrants. Onsite registration is $5.
