Fall Conference Schedule as of 08-23-2010

Participants: Business educators from all disciplines are encouraged to submit proposals to share their work. This is a great opportunity to discuss effective teaching strategies and collaborate with others on future research projects.

Theme: The theme for the conference is "Making Connections, Building Community." Connections and community encompasses social networking, virtual environments, customer relationships and the like in contemporary business operations. The new challenge for us as educators may very well be how to effectively tie these concepts to the college classroom.
