There aren't many questions to be asked. They're going to tell you the exact same things that you can read on the school website. The real benefit comes more from chatting with the staff after the event than from actually learning something new from the presentation.

You know why you're considering getting a MBA. Assuming that it's not something stupid like, "I think that a MBA is my golden ticket!," talk to some of the professors and faculty about which concentrations they think will match with your goals. They can probably point you towards specific professors and dept. members who you should contact for more details. If you're the type of person who shrinks in a crowd, doesn't want to talk to the presenters and doesn't like to follow up on leads, then going is probably just a waste of time.

Thanks, I’m more than happy to chat to people in a crowd as I go to a fair few industry events in my current job. My reason for wanting to do an MBA (albeit a part time one) is that I’m a bit pigeonholed in my current role and want to break out into wider more managerial/ investment jobs. I’ve also started to notice that a lot of the jobs I would consider applying for are starting to ask for more that the just the professional qualification I have at the moment.

Pay close attention to whether they're judging you or pitching you.
