Events at LFGSM
There’s perhaps no better way to get to know us than to experience an LFGSM event ― whether it’s a small gathering or a major public forum.
The School regularly hosts MBA Previews ― our version of an open house ― at its campuses and on-site locations. We also host webinars for prospective students, and invite you to visit a class in session.
And for the chance to sharpen your leadership skills with tips from the best and brightest, come to one of our major events; we hold several each year. Being part of the LFGSM family ― whether you’re a student, an alum, a prospect, a corporate client or a friend of the School ― has distinct advantages, like inclusion on a very prestigious guest list.
Get invited to exclusive events for professionals in your functional area, and to LFGSM's acclaimed Business Education Forums. Here’s a sampling of the esteemed professionals who have recently given presentations to our students, alumni and friends.
