An Event Designed for Business School Leaders

Come together with over 700 business school leaders from around the world at the Deans Conference–AACSB’s largest event designed exclusively for deans and heads of business units. This year's conference will explore the most pressing issues for business school leaders: we will discuss how artificial intelligence is changing the dean's role, share ideas to embrace and progress digital transformation across school activities, discuss strategies to prepare for the anticipated enrollment cliff, and much more.

Designed to foster meaningful connections, the conference provides a platform for participants to engage with longtime friends and forge new and valuable relationships with colleagues from across the globe. Enjoy collaborative dialogue and participant-led discussions as you expand your network of forward-thinking peers.

Delve into topics top of mind for the most innovative business school leaders, like:

  • Exploring AI’s impact on the Dean's role
  • Opportunities for improvement to the traditional b-school model
  • Building and empowering a team around you
  • Fostering inclusivity and social impact
  • Improvement of the student experience

Who Should Attend

This event is exclusively for deans and heads of higher education business units (the highest academic authority or official of the business unit), and AACSB business members in leadership roles. Registration substitutions replacing one individual with another individual for the same event) will not be granted for this event.
