OMBA Talks Series

The OMBA team is proud to present a peer to peer learning initiative known as OMBA Talks! These webinar style talks will be led by current OMBA students and alumni, on various relevant topics in their field of interest. Topics of interest can include industry talks, favorite projects, any relevant experience that you would like to share. When thinking of your topic, we encourage you to think of something you are both knowledgeable and passionate about, that you can share your own experiences with the rest of OMBA. Click here to fill out the OMBA Talks Interest Form! A member of the Success Team will be in touch with you about coordinating your event.
