What is an MBA Chat and how does it apply to personal branding?

twitter-iconOn Monday, April 5, 2010: #MBAChat launches live via Twitter and for those in the Metro Detroit area there is a meet-up.

Many people have questions about the value of an MBA, the process of preparing and/or applying for an MBA program and personal development based upon the conversations we have monitored online via Twitter. The mission of the #MBAChat is to create an open dialogue with people who have an interest in participating in conversation about these topics. The #MBAChat will be moderated by @Hajjflemings. The conversation will be live streamed via Twitter and the re-cap will be compiled from participants tweets.

The #MBAChat will have an online/offline component. For those in Michigan area who would like to meet face-to-face there will be a physical meet-up. The physical location will be at various Biggby Coffee locations in the Metro Detroit Area which will be sponsoring free coffee for attendees.
