Learning Summit

Welcome to the Wharton School’s inaugural Business Education Online Learning Summit: The Future of Education at Work on Wharton’s campus September 19-20, 2016.
This invitation-only event for academic leaders in business education and senior leaders in industry will focus on the emerging opportunities for on-campus and on-the-job education. We will also address correlated topics related to online learning as we are living through historically significant shifts in traditional business education. The summit will be a mix of facilitated conversations and plenary sessions to generate key insights for senior leaders to take back to campus.
The following themes will be addressed over the course of conference:
What is the relevance of business schools in the new credentialing economy?
What is the value of these new credentials? Of the MBA in this new marketplace? What are pricing strategies?
What are the roles and responsibilities to this new population of learners around the world and at work?
