Hyatt Regency Hotel in Belgrade, March 14, 2007

We are proud to announce that the second MBAfair™ 2007 will take place at the traditional place, the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Belgrade, Serbia on March 14, 2007, 14:00 - 18:00.

The seeds that have been planted in May 2006 at the MBAfair™ 2006 have been blossoming into some really beautiful flowers. The MBA is not being confused with NBA any more in Serbia, many schools have attracted some nice enrollments, some even two cohorts per year, the new MBA players have entered the Serbian market, and what is the most exciting, the companies have started to send their employees to the MBA programs, and paying for their tuition. Finally!

This year MBAfair™ www.mbafair.net is partnering with the Romanian International University Fair RIUF www.riuf.ro to offer the first-time exhibitors a special discount. The RIUF will take place in Bucharest, Romania on March 10 and 11, 2007 and the MBAfair™ will take place in Belgrade, Serbia two days later, on March 14. We wanted to give you enough time to pack your exhibition materials, get on the plane and a mini-bus and transfer^* to Belgrade. The Organizers are offering the exhibitors who participate in both the Belgrade and the Bucharest shows a 10% discount off both shows. This is the sign of true regional cooperation! The two Balkan markets, comprising of almost 30 million people, are booming, Romania is entering EU in January 2007 and in MBA-terms, the region appears to be growing as the third, to Chinese and Russian markets. The organizers, the Educativa of Bucharest, Romania and Oivivio of Belgrade, Serbia, are happy to ride the wave and provide you, the Exhibitor, with the finest opportunity to grow in the growing market.

Experts'    Corner MBA in South-Eastern Europe - What is Needed? In most SE European countries, an MBA (Master of Business Administration) is still frequently confused with the NBA (National Basketball Association). There are many managers, even in top executive positions that have not even heard of MBA. This means that MBA is not obligatory to reach the top in business. This is, it is not mandatory if you are already there, on the top. But if you are a young professional or an experienced manager in need of a good job, a career change or a career-boost, then an MBA might be for you.more

Exhibitors     The MBAfair™ is an International Educational Exhibition and Forum where business schools and universities that offer MBA programs showcase their executive management educational offerings in order to attract best-qualified up and coming young professionals and managers. Twelve international and local business schools from ten European and North American countries (Bosnia and Herzegovina, France, Great Britain, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Malta, Serbia, Slovenia, and USA) that are active in the area demonstrated their MBA, MIB and other graduate business programs. A leading-edge management training consultancy from the USA, FranklinCovey, introduced their personal productivity and execution program of executive management training.
