RSS Executive Speakers on Campus
Wharton's strong connections with businesses, governments, and public policy organizations give you frequent opportunities to hear directly from the world's business leaders. In addition to presentations on campus, faculty also bring executives into the classroom, providing real-time context and discussion around the management issues facing business leaders and key figures in organizations in all parts of the world.
Keynote Speakers on the Wharton EMBA Campuses
Throughout the year, leaders from business and government talk "off the record" with executive MBA students on the Philadelphia and San Francisco campuses. Speakers are invited through the student-run Executive Speaker Series, through faculty teaching individual classes, or through program staff organizing special lunch-time events.
