Credentials Forum

Credential Forum 2.0: A virtual forum
to discuss, understand and evaluate the value of credentials to the learner, the institution
and the industry

September 23 & 24, 2025

Demand for alternative credentials is growing exponentially, and business schools are creating and announcing new credentials almost daily.   As the credential market grows, the questions also increase.

Why should business schools add credentials to their curriculum?  What is the current state of the credential industry?  How do you create transparent and transferable credentials? And ultimately how do we evaluate the value of these credentials to the learner, the institution and employers?

Join us on September 23 & 24, 2025 for our Virtual Credential Forum 2.0, as we learn from leaders in the credential field to address many of those questions.  The Graduate Business Curriculum Roundtable launched our first Credential Forum on the growing role of credentials, badges and certificates in graduate management education in April 2021.  The Credential Forum was hugely successful and we are expecting the same for our event in 2025.  Register your team today and don’t miss our upcoming Forum on September 23rd & 24th.  

We’ve put together a two day agenda of great topics and interactive sessions, representing organizations such as:
  • Accredible
  • Credential Engine
  • Graduate Business Curriculum Roundtable
  • Suffolk University
  • University of Arizona
  • University of Maryland Global Campus
  • University of Texas at Austin
  • UPCEA
