MBA & BGA has chosen the magnificent Portuguese capital of Lisbon as the destination for its Global Conference
MBA alumni, employers, campaigners, and other industry experts, will join a variety of panel discussions that aim to bring as much opinion, discussion and insight as possible to the AMBA & BGA Global Conference 2022. Roundtable collaborations: interactive roundtable discussions are planned, which have been kindly supported by our sponsors and partners. Each roundtable will allow delegates to select topics that are of most interest to them, meet and debate issues that will arise during the conference, and share their own insights with fellow delegates in moderated sessions. Meetings: our conference platform’s intuitive AI will help you plan meetings with fellow delegates and speakers, with whom you share common interests. The platform’s agenda planner, meanwhile, will allow you to schedule and tailor the whole event – meetings, sessions, roundtables, and breaks – to your own diary and requirements. Workshops: alongside the roundtables, several workshops will be running, which will offer practical advice. Networking On 16 May, our dinner will be hosted in the chic SUD Lisboa, one of the city’s newest ‘must-book’ venues. The evening will start with a luxury drinks reception on the stunning roof terrace, overlooking the magnificent River
