The Graduate Business Forum (GBF) is a United States-based non-profit foundation best known for its annual global Graduate Business Conference, which brings together top business leaders, political leaders and selected student government presidents and vicepresidents from the top 55 MBA Business Schools in the world to exchange best practices on student government, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and community service and to discuss the most pressing issues facing the world from a responsible leadership perspective. The Forum also organizes a series of regional meetings throughout the year. The Graduate Business Forum was founded in 1983 by Jim Deveau, a then MBA student and President of the student government at Columbia Business School. Beyond conferences, the Forum produces articles on ethical and responsible leadership of the MBA community and engages its members in business school or community initiatives.
