EMBAC

EMBAC research helps identify emerging trends, highlights how peer institutions are responding, and provides ideas you can bring back to your program.

On August 25th at 10am EST, EMBAC will share some market intelligence not available to non-member institutions.

Whether you’re a leader or part of the staff team of an MS, MA, EMBA, or other masters degree program for the executive/working professional marketplace, this free session is for you!

If interested send an email to [email protected] and we’ll provide you with a registration link.

If you're a working professional or executive you probably have an investment portfolio...one which may include stocks, bonds, real estate; we invest with the intent that long-term a diverse portfolio will net positive returns.

One piece we sometimes miss is the investment in our own professional development...and ironically it's the one piece of our portfolio we probably have the most control over.

While EMBAC data does show solid average salary returns for executive degrees, there's an even bigger reason to invest in yourself. Professional development investments give us the ability to leverage them in different ways throughout our career, and they too benefit from compounding.

Before you delay the investment in yourself consider if being more marketable is a good thing in disruptive times...I think we know the answer...we just need to decide to act!

EMBAC We are the global association of choice for higher education institutions with graduate degree programs that serve executives and working professionals.

One of the things we challenge ourselves to do each year is make the EMBAC Annual Conference even more valuable for our attendees.

This year, we're reimagining Wednesday!

Rather than concluding the conference at 10:30 a.m. as we've traditionally done, we'll now wrap up at 12:00 noon with the addition of a brand-new Market Intelligence session focused on EMBAC research.

For years, EMBAC research has helped members understand not just what is changing in the executive and working professional master's marketplace, but how leading programs are responding. From shifts in candidate behavior and employer expectations to funding trends and program innovation, our goal is to transform data into practical insights you can take back to your institution.

We'll still begin the morning with breakfast and an inspiring plenary session featuring Dominique Turpin, then close the conference with this new interactive research experience designed to leave attendees with fresh perspectives and actionable takeaways.

And because we'll be in one of the world's great cities, we're also adding an optional guided walking tour of Los Angeles immediately following the conference. Space will be limited, and more details will be announced soon.

We're excited about this completely redesigned Wednesday and hope you'll join us in Los Angeles, October 11–14, for the 2026 EMBAC Annual Conference!
