Dear Colleagues,

As we begin the 14th year of the QS World MBA Tour, the team at QS would like to thank you for the tremendous support and collegiate atmosphere you help us create in our marathon journey across 32 countries.

Across the page you will find the facts and figures of the Tour and TopMBA.com which confirm that, unlike other fair organizers and web channels, we consistently deliver exceptional results:

• quality MBA applicants in record numbers

• innovative content doubling web traffic to over 1 million web visitors to TopMBA.com

• superlative feedback for customer service

• the best value channel, bar none, for reaching MBA applicants worldwide

The QS World MBA Tour helps build your brand in new markets and brings you MBA students, ensuring the diversity that enriches your student experiences. In our advisory groups and seminars, schools have consistently confirmed that a high proportion of your current students attended the QS World MBA Tour.

Our Tour creates a pipeline for the future, yielding unique databases for 2009 entry and the years ahead, as well as providing a shield against any downturn. Our unique partnerships with the world’s leading business media attract quality business professionals both before they take the GMAT as well as in the final stages of their MBA search. No other organization contributes MBA editorial across such an extensive array of media worldwide (see our media coverage) – a massive undertaking.

Year after year, 95% or more of attendees rate the QS World MBA Tour ‘very useful’ or ‘useful’. The decision making process for the millennial generation, saturated with web information overload, relies on direct reassurance, making face-to-face recruitment an essential part of a school’s marketing mix. Whether you visit an international market just once in the year, or plan to return, the QS World MBA Tour is the most reliable and cost-effective first step. And of course, the more Fairs you attend, the more cost-effective, and the greater is the ROI. With the QS World MBA Tour you have the peace of mind to know that we always deliver.

Please complete the enclosed booking form to reserve your place on the 2008 Fall Tour. Schools signing up before 26th May 2008 will benefit from the Early Bird booking rates and will also appear in promotional materials. We look forward to working with you again at the world’s best source of MBA applicants.

Best regards,

Nunzio Quacquarelli, Zoya Zaitseva and the whole QS World MBA Tour team

High-technology research and development, and computer and electronic manufacturing industries have flourished in Boston in the past few years and the academic tradition of the city provides the platform for MBA recruitment among the Millennial generation now graduating from college. This was evident in the increase in candidate numbers at the Fall 2007 Fair. Boston in fact has one of the highest concentrations of GMAT test takers in the US and our local test prep partner has an unrivalled database to help attract an informed and motivated audience.

As the nation’s capital, DC hosts an influential core of corporate offices, whilst surrounding Maryland and Virginia both provide an impressive concentration of industry, including the Dulles Corridor of high tech companies. The significant international community makes DC an important recruitment target for both domestic and international programs. The Fair will enjoy very active promotion from local institutions, in addition to the support of media giant The Washington Post, whose annual MBA supplement in both print and online format, is timed for one week before the Fair.

Both school and test-prep partner feedback strongly encouraged the QS World MBA Tour to return to Seattle again in 2008, rather than maintaining the every-other-year policy QS had previously employed. 2007 provided a sizeable crowd of very high quality candidates. With stellar local companies such as Boeing, Amazon, Nordstrom, Starbucks and Microsoft, Seattle’s MBA market is ripe. With high average wages, and one of the highest percentages of adults with college degrees in the country, Seattle is a natural.

Despite going up against a big college football Saturday, our Houston Fair in 2007 attracted a sizeable, quality crowd. European and Asian schools present expressed their satisfaction in meeting many outward looking candidates. Houston’s economy is diversified over eight key industries, and the region possesses a highly trained and highly skilled workforce. High oil prices have helped the city stay second in the nation for job growth. Houston has 18 Fortune 500 companies and has been designated the best city in the US to start a new business. The Houston Chronicle, undoubtedly the key print media in the region, really excelled as a Fair partner for the third time.

The most expensive city and one of the top cities in the world for billionaires, Moscow needs little introduction. Russia occupies the fourth place in the world in IPOs in 2007; and is experiencing a recruitment boom. This trend is supported by a rapidly growing wealthy middle-class whose children want to study an MBA abroad with no need for scholarships, combined with strong demand for Executive MBAs.

Milan

Registrations Fall 2007: 685GMAT test Takers: 1,146 (Italy) Population: 3.8 million Media Partner: Corriere della Sera

Our eighth Milan Fair was the best yet and many schools now report Italians among their largest European student nationality. Italy has recently experienced the highest growth in numbers of GMAT takers, up 45% from 2002 to 2007. The shortage of strong local schools results in many Italians choosing to study abroad and we have become proficient at reaching these prospective MBAs. The QS World MBA Tour is the catalyst for many Italian journalists persuading their editors to run MBA features. The leading daily, Corriere della Sera, will again be promoting the Fair. Milan remains the financial hub, the highest per capita income, and is surrounded by a large industrial hinterland.

Frankfurt

The capital of Bavaria has the strongest economy of any German city, boosted by Munich’s immensely wealthy industrial and technology powerhouses, such as BMW, Siemens and others. With a financial center second only to Frankfurt, and a particular stronghold in the insurance sector, Munich continues to be attractive to business schools and MBA candidates alike. Candidates tend to be knowledgeable, experienced and well prepared, diligently making use of information on QS’ www.topmba.com and conducting research on Scorecard, which attracts very high numbers of German visitors. Space restrictions require us to limit school numbers: early booking is essential.
