🔜 Andrew J. Hoffman closed the conference by asking whether business schools are feeding the problems they teach students to solve. The new generation wants purpose. He invites delegates to rethink the curriculum and train stewards who fix the system, not just manage it. #EFMDAnnual

📊 Candidate expectations are shifting, employer needs are evolving, and competition for students is uneven. Amy Rogers draws on GMAC research to explore what the data tells us about graduate management education demand and what schools can do about it. #EFMDAnnual

👣 What does a carbon-smart business school actually look like? David Veredas and Tabea Bereuther's breakout session explores how institutions can move beyond measuring emissions and start navigating the strategic tensions of decarbonisation. #EFMDAnnual

🧭 AI is a tool, academia is the compass. The real shift is transformation, not implementation, and it requires leadership, #AI literacy and ethical judgment across the faculty community. Andrew Jack, Maarten Renkema, Cristina Fernández, mod. Wilfred Mijnhardt. #EFMDAnnual

🎊 The stage is set for one of the highlights of #EFMDAnnual — welcoming the newest members of the EQUIS, EFMD Accredited, EDAF, and BSIS families. Congratulations to all institutions!

🦾 Strategic tool or existential threat? Isabelle Bajeux-Besnainou and Renata Schoeman debate #AI in management education — and the cognitive paradox at its core: how do we produce AI-ready graduates without making them AI-dependent? Moderated by Mark Smith. #EFMDAnnual

000

💡 Five parallel breakout sessions at #EFMDAnnual covering the human side of AI, accreditation strategy, sustainability in the agri-food system, the silver generation, and wellbeing in management education. Smaller rooms, sharper questions, and the space to speak openly.

🫱🏼‍🫲🏽 Corporate and academic perspectives. Ana Callol and Carl Rhodes: leadership is about who decides better, not who knows more. Business schools are not neutral technical institutions, they are democratic spaces with a collective purpose. #EFMDAnnual

📣 Chairing this year's #EFMDAnnual, Sankar Sivarajah reminds us what lies at the heart of management education: "Management and leadership are not about status or certainty. They are about responsibility for people, decisions, and the kind of societies we create."
