The events organised by GMAC Tours (The MBA Tour) have become an important platform for prospective students seeking clarity and direct engagement with leading institutions. Throughout the second half of 2026, the organisation will bring together candidates and representatives from some of the world’s most prestigious business schools through a series of in-person and virtual events designed to provide first-hand insights into MBA and specialised master’s programmes.
The tour will begin in Latin America with three face-to-face events taking place in Bogotá, Lima and Santiago. These cities have emerged as important centres of professional and business development in the region, reflecting a growing demand for internationally focused graduate management education.
The first stop will be The MBA Tour Bogotá on 13 August 2026, followed by The MBA Tour Lima on 15 August, and The MBA Tour Santiago on 20 August. At each event, participants will have the opportunity to meet admissions representatives directly, learn about programme offerings and receive personalised guidance on application strategies and career development opportunities.
Beyond providing institutional information, these events offer candidates valuable insight into the trends currently reshaping business education. Today’s leading MBA programmes increasingly seek to balance traditional management disciplines with competencies in sustainability, innovation, data analytics, entrepreneurship and leadership in global environments.
Internationalisation remains another key factor driving interest in these events. As organisations operate across increasingly interconnected markets, professionals are looking for educational experiences that provide multicultural perspectives and access to international networks. MBA fairs have become one of the most effective ways for prospective students to explore these opportunities before embarking on the formal admissions process.
The GMAC Tours calendar will continue in September with The MBA + Master’s Tour Europe, a virtual event scheduled for 9 September 2026 that will focus on programmes offered by European institutions. For many Latin American candidates, Europe remains an attractive destination due to its diverse educational models, relatively short programme durations and growing emphasis on sustainability and responsible business practices.
Later, on 21 October 2026, GMAC Tours will host The MBA + Master’s Tour Latin America, also in a virtual format. This event will broaden access for candidates across the region and provide a wider perspective on the postgraduate education opportunities available to professionals seeking career advancement without the need for international travel.
In this context, the events organised by GMAC Tours represent far more than networking opportunities. They serve as strategic platforms where Latin American professionals can evaluate educational options, compare institutional offerings and gain a deeper understanding of how business education is evolving to address the demands of a rapidly changing global economy.
