Because consultants at other firms work with MBA clients only part time while maintaining a separate full-time job, they cannot take the time away from their true careers to host or attend such an event. At mbaMission, however, admissions consulting is our <\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sole<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> job and focus\u2014so we can dedicate this time to gather and ensure that we are at the top of our game to benefit <\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">you<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We at mbaMission are absolutely committed to hiring, training, and continuously educating the best admissions consultants in the world\u2014and we are truly a team. Our consultants know each other well, not just because they see each other face to face at our yearly conference, but also because they connect at our biweekly Tuesday meetings, collaborate on admissions-related presentations throughout the year, and communicate every day via email, Skype, and other media. Our conference is a manifestation of our team approach.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mbamission.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/mbaMission-Conference-2018-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-25435 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mbamission.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/mbaMission-Conference-2018-2-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"mbaMission Conference 2018\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mbamission.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/mbaMission-Conference-2018-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mbamission.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/mbaMission-Conference-2018-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mbamission.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/mbaMission-Conference-2018-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.mbamission.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/mbaMission-Conference-2018-2.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>So, what did we accomplish at our conference this year?
