BGA | BUSINESS IMPACT
L ast year, we were humbled and inspired by There are seven categories in the AMBA & BGA Excellence Awards 2022 that are open to BGA member, validated and accredited Business Schools, and for which Schools can nominate themselves or their students and alumni. These include a new dedicated category for institutions in the BGA network – BGA Student of the Year. Building on the success of the annual MBA Student of the Year award, this new award invites you to share the successes of your students and alumni from non-MBA programmes – this includes those at the undergraduate and pre-experience master’s levels. As many of you will remember, the AMBA & BGA the entries we received across all categories of the AMBA & BGA Excellence Awards 2021. This year, we know that the quality and calibre of your submissions will be even more powerful. Excellence Awards 2021 was held online in its entirety. While we worked hard to emulate the excitement of a live awards ceremony using virtual conferencing technology, I’m sure you’ll agree with me in saying that nothing beats the ‘magic’ of a physical event when it comes to an awards ceremony. For that reason, my team and I are already working on delivering the most exciting hybrid event we can for 2022's awards. On the evening of 21 January 2022, AMBA & BGA plans to host the AMBA & BGA Excellence Awards 2021 in London with a sumptuous Gala Dinner for those attending in person, and a TV-quality livestream of the awards for virtual attendees. Our aim is to provide you with the most immersive and engaging experience, no matter where you are in the world. The awards ceremony will follow on from AMBA & BGA’s first Business School Leaders Summit – an event at which panel sessions will discuss key themes, trends and issues that matter to business educators: diversity, innovation, impact, sustainability, lifelong learning, partnerships and collaboration. Following on from the success of AMBA & BGA’s fully online Festival of Excellence early in 2021, these panels will comprise a selection of decision makers from Business Schools, as well as industry experts, international employers, and business leaders, to create an authentic and discursive environment in which to put forward and debate ideas. The key difference from the Festival of Excellence is that this event will use a new hybrid dimension – planned as a physical event but bringing studio-standard quality livestreaming for all those who are unable to make it to London in person. The event will also be supplemented by both online and offline networking opportunities. We hope to see many of you face to face in the new year, and to receiving and reading your submissions for the AMBA & BGA Excellence Awards 2022 in the meantime. The closing date for entries to the AMBA & BGA Excellence Awards 2022 is Friday 24 September 2021.
