That is the context for GBSN Beyond. We invite you and your organization to get involved and make a difference for the developing world—and gain visibility for being a leader and change maker in business education. The COVID-19 outbreak continues to cause disruption to business schools across the world.

Business schools can and should have a positive impact during the crisis and in shaping the world that will emerge from it. For that, we need your organization’s engagement and support. 

GBSN Beyond is a set of international experiences organized in three tracks designed for business school Students, Faculty, and Administrators, culminating in a collaborative virtual event November 9-13, 2020.
