Register for Patrick Dunne’s Conversation
Date & Time: Wednesday, 14 May at 8:00am EST
The Global Exchange: Conversations That Matter are exclusive gatherings designed specifically for GBSN members, offering a unique opportunity to engage in intimate, thought provoking conversations. Each session features GBSN’s CEO, Dan LeClair in a dialogue with a special guest, diving deep into conversations that foster global engagement, innovation, and actionable learning.
Members will have the option to join the live sessions to participate in real-time, ask questions, and engage directly with our special guests. In addition to pre-selected questions, we value audience participation as an essential part of the experience. Live attendees will have the opportunity to pose their own questions during a dedicated segment at the end of the session. This interactive format ensures that your insights, curiosity, and concerns are heard and addressed in real time, fostering a truly collaborative environment. The Q&A will not be featured in the podcast and will only be available to members who join the live session. Whether you prefer the interactive experience of a live session or the flexibility of on-demand podcasts, The Global Exchange series are designed to fit your needs.
These interactive sessions go beyond simple discussions — they serve as a dynamic platform for active engagement, allowing members to collaborate and advance GBSN’s vision of fostering global partnerships among business schools to enhance the role of management education in addressing critical societal challenges. Co-facilitated by leading experts, topics are driven by the interests and feedback of our global network. We invite GBSN members to not only attend these exclusive conversations, but also shape their direction by suggesting topics for future conversations and by asking thought provoking questions that might spark meaningful insights and actionable solutions.
Join the conversation your way — live or on your own terms.
