2010 Annual Conference - "Recognizing Excellence in Business Education"
June 25 - 28, 2010 - JW Marriott at L.A. Live - Los Angeles, California

Thank you for making the 2010 ACBSP Annual Conference in Los Angeles one of the most successful conferences to date. You've helped us set a new conference record. Final numbers show 610 individuals from educational institutions. This breaks all previous records, including 568 in 2009 and the all time record of 598. The total number in attendance this year, including sponsors, exhibitors and others, equals 693. Despite budget cuts that we know those of you in higher education were facing this year and will continue to face, 610 individuals recognized the value of the ACBSP conference and the educational sessions offered, and kept it on your calendars. We thank you for that and invite you to look through some of the photos taken at the conference, as well as download and presentations you may have missed. We hope to see you next year in Indianapolis!

Annual Conference Photos Hundred of photos were taken at the Annual Conference and are available for viewing on the ACBSP PhotoBucket. In the 2010 Annual Conference album, there are several sub-albums on the left side of the page. Use these sub-albums to view photos. All Photos from the Annual Conference
