Top In-Person MBA Events to Check Out in October 2025

Image for Top In-Person MBA Events to Check Out in October 2025

An essential part of the process when you apply for an MBA is events. On or off campus, formal or informal, in-person MBA admission events are opportunities for applicants to connect with current students and alumni, sit in on classes, meet the admissions team, and take campus tours. As first-round deadlines are passing us by and the second round begins, schools are hosting events for prospective applicants to find the right fit. Here’s what’s on deck for October

Why attend MBA events?

More than just another step in the process you want to check off your list, this is where you can assess for yourself whether a school or program is the right fit for you and will set you on the career path you really want. This is where you’re going to get your questions answered, network with other potential members of your cohort and recently graduated professionals, understand the program structure, and get a feel for the school culture.

It’s also an opportunity to make an impression on the admissions committee. Unlike online application workshops and program webinars, in-person MBA events allow applicants to be observed interacting and socializing. You’ll be expected to actively engage with the presentation and other attendees.

What to expect at an MBA event

Most schools hold a variety of MBA admissions events to accommodate the availability of all prospective applicants and reach a more diverse applicant pool. Some are more structured than others. Review the event description carefully. Some events are targeted at specific demographics or industries, and at certain times during the academic year, schools may restrict certain events to those who have submitted an application or been admitted.

Regularly scheduled campus visits are generally based around tours and may also include mock classes or class visits, student panels, a lunch or other more informal social gathering, and Q&As with the admissions team. These are good opportunities to get application tips, and some campus visits also include application workshops..

An MBA Fair is a large convention-style event where multiple schools are on hand, catering to prospective students still deciding which programs to apply to. Similar to a job fair for business schools, some of these will also have industry-leading companies and independent academic organizations in attendance. Multi-school MBA fairs are pivoting toward application workshops and networking as the second-round of applications begins. See our list at the bottom of this month’s post.

Off-campus MBA events are often held in major cities and tend to be less formal. Here, you’ll be able to socialize with local alumni and get more insight into the school’s career services and the alumni community.

MBA admission events are generally not for walk-ins and are limited in group size. You must register for these events. Pay careful attention to the registration details, as the form will often ask for specifics about your career and program interests and present several class visit options to tailor your experience.

Regardless of how casual the MBA event you plan to attend appears, these events are rigorously organized, and you must adhere to what may be a strict program schedule. Your ability to be prompt and professional says a lot about you as an applicant.
