“I am proud to be a part of Wharton’s tightly knit network of alumni in Australia. The Sydney Forum will significantly elevate the School’s profile to the same level as in the US and many parts of Asia. The increased connection and collaboration will have incredible benefits for the global business community and the Wharton brand and alumni presence in Australia. Join us in Sydney as we foster these relationships, learn from each other and Wharton’s top-rated faculty, and make an international impact. Bringing Wharton’s thought leadership to six continents is a meaningful milestone. Engage with Wharton and participate in this unique moment in time.”

 ASHOK JACOB, WG’84 – CHAIRMAN

“The Global Forum in Sydney will present topics that are vital to business leadership, from innovation to investments, from civic engagement to geopolitical economics. Through intensive sessions and enlightening keynotes, we will explore issues in depth and put the pieces together to showcase the complex interplay that global forces have on people, communities, and countries. Come to Sydney in March, 2018 to be a part of this exciting chapter in global business and education.”

Focus and Locus

“It’s the place for alumni to get their intellectual candy. When we attend Global Forums, we get reignited by faculty and the value these professors bring to the world and students. The heads of corporations share insights you couldn’t get anywhere else.”

SONIA RODRIGUEZ, W’93

“I saw classmates I hadn’t connected with in years. It’s different from a reunion because you’re networking with people from all over the world. The Forum brings together alumni from all programs, and that’s really useful because you don’t often connect.”

SUHRIEL BEDOYA, G’03, WG’03

“Wharton graduates are people working across every industry. You meet people who can help you grow your business no matter what kind of business it is — whether flowers or private equity.”

AMIT GUPTA, WG’04
