Regional Meetings

For membership purposes, ACBSP is geographically divided into eight regions. Each region meets during the ACBSP Annual Conference to conduct business. In addition, the national office staff and the leadership in each region provide workshops and seminars throughout the year on topics and issues that are relevant to the field of business education.

These regional programs provide the opportunity for sharing research projects conducted by business faculty of member institutions, sharing innovations and new trends that have occurred in the corporate sector, and exchanging views on new developments relevant to the business units in both two and four year institutions of higher education.

The following is key information for meetings scheduled in each region. Please check back to this site often for updated information.
