Visiting Business Schools & MBA Fairs - Business or Pleasure?
Totally unrelated question to my previous posts.
Next time I go to the US, I would like to also visit some Business School and, if the timing is right, there is an MBA Round Table that I want to attend.
Does this constitute business or pleasure?
I got it wrong once and I don't want to get it wrong again!
Thanks!
P.S= Possible also another conference about Financial Planning. It is related to my work, but I am paying for it personally. My company is not involved.

My rule of thumb has always been who is paying for the flight and hotels, if it's work it was a WB, if it's me it was a WT.
Also from my own experience, expect more questions if you tick business on your customs form, to establish what you are planning to do and that it does not constitute working.
