“QS World MBA Tour has provided numerous opportunities for connectivity with the best candidates around the world. I have appreciated their professionalism and friendly customer services which has allowed me to build a strong rapport with each and every QS team member. Thank you QS!” Rumy Gill, University of Toronto, Rotman
“The QS World MBA Fairs are a key source of recruitment for the Monash MBA Program. The fairs are well organised and have delivered quality full-time students to our program over the past two years. The fairs are an excellent opportunity to meet and interview potential candidates in a competitive market place, allowing both the School and the candidate to determine mutual fit.” Amanda Pyman, Monash University
“Really great candidates – diverse industries, strong work experience, international. Hugely qualified” Alexis Mellon, Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business
“Thunderbird has participated in the QS World MBA Tour for over 10 years, and it is a critical component of our student recruitment. As a school of global management, we find that the breadth of locations and quality of attendees served by the tour give us access to the best candidates from around the world.” Stephen Taylor, Thunderbird School of Global Management
“In an uncertain MBA market, we decided to increase the overall number of fairs and cities that we visited this past year. This combined with other marketing and recruiting tactics has led to a strong increase in applications this year. We know that attending these fairs is crucial in order to meet prospects and talk about why an MBA, and specifically a GW MBA, is a strong investment” Shelly Heinrich, George Washington University School of Business
“QS World MBA Tours has really done a good job for us. It has yielded good students wherever we attended, and we will definitely be doing more fairs with you” Robert Ryan, DePaul University Kellstadt Graduate School of Business
“Great support throughout the fairs, thanks for everything! The crowds were fantastic and lots of quality candidates.” Truly Hutapea, INSEAD
“We would like to thank QS for organizing MBA fairs all over the world. We have been collaborating with QS for many years now, and it is a key institution to our recruiting offers. We have met students from all over the world during the QS fairs, and many of them ended up joining IE Business School. We are looking forward to more successful tours with QS. Great organization, great people, and a lot of potential students!” Eliana El Hage, IE Business School
“QS always provides a great platform to engage with eligible candidates and to share MBA information. It creates an environment in which conversations can be had to ensure a fit between participants and programs.” Maryke Steenkampe, RSM Erasmus University

QS World MBA Tour
The QS World MBA Tour is the market leading series of MBA recruitment events. The tour attracts over 50,000 registrations each year – yielding the largest database of MBA candidates bar none.
Brand building advertising, PR and social media opportunities will enable you to establish your school in new markets and reinforce your position in key markets.
The QS World MBA Tour allows schools to maximise face-to-face contact with candidates. Innovative panel and presentation opportunities allow you to maximise your exposure and increase conversion rates.

In most larger markets we run open MBA fairs. However, in more niche markets, we run events in Mini Tour Format, which ensure either a short snapshot presentation, or sitting on a panel prior to the fair. The mini tour is run on a consultative basis, with QS staff directing candidates to your table based on both their profile, and your target audience. For a full list of which events are run in Mini Tour format, see the schedule on page 27.
Panels and Presentations
Admissions Panels
One 45 minute panel in each city, running directly before the opening of the fair*
Presentations
30 minute individual school presentation sessions, run from 4pm-5pm on weeknights/1pm-2pm on weekends.
Regional Panels/Debates
Schools can reserve their place on a 45 minute panel, running from 5pm-6.30pm on weeknights, 2pm-3.30pm on weekends.
