Fifteen top-ranked business schools and 1,500 students kicked off three days of high energy, action-packed sports and networking events as HEC Paris opened the annual MBA Tournament (MBAT) in France.
Hosted and organised by HEC Paris for the 25th consecutive year, the MBAT is a student-organised event led by a 25-member team comprising current HEC Paris MBA students. As part of the program’s emphasis on leadership and transformation, as well as the building of personal engagement and entrepreneurial mindset, organising and managing the event enables students to practice their leadership skills outside of the classroom.
In honor of its 25th edition, this year’s event featured 25 sporting events such as badminton, cricket, football, rowing, golf and tennis, as well as three major networking and socialisation events. Other fun and leisure activities have also been lined up throughout the duration of the tournament such as a mechanical bull, sumo wrestling, gladiator games, trampolines, bumping balls and more.
