(PRWEB) November 26, 2005 -- ESADE has helped organise the first meeting for business schools with Executive MBA programmes to be held in Europe, at the Hotel Princesa Sofía in Barcelona. The Executive MBA Council Conference, opening today and due to go on until 2 November, will be attended by Xavier Mendoza, Dean of ESADE Business School, who will also lead a plenary session entitled: ‘Current and Emerging Trends in the Executive MBA Market’.

ESADE is also contributing four lectures to the exhaustive programme featuring experts from the main business schools worldwide, analysing the future of EMBA training, programmes which are of particular importance to the English-speaking market.

The first Executive MBA was imparted at the University of Chicago in 1943. However, it was not until the 1960s that it became consolidated as an essential training programme for enhancing managers’ abilities and professional performance. In 1981, the American Association of Colleges and Schools of Business International (AACSB International) created a consultative council to track the evolution of Executive MBAs, and in 1987 the first this series of international meetings was held in Toronto. Next year’s meeting will take place in Baltimore.
