Conference 
ICAM 2027 will take place at the Centara Grand and Bangkok Convention Centre at CentralWorld in Bangkok, Thailand, marking AACSB’s flagship annual conference return to Asia Pacific after many years.
Each year, ICAM brings together more than 1,200 business educators, leaders, and decision-makers from over 60 countries to examine the forces shaping the future of management education. Through thought-provoking discussions, collaborative sessions, and meaningful networking, participants will explore emerging trends in leadership, technology, accreditation, learner success, research impact, and societal impact.
Set against the vibrant backdrop of Bangkok, ICAM 2027 offers an engaging environment to connect with peers from across the globe and gain fresh perspectives from one of the world’s most dynamic regions. The conference will highlight strategies for innovation, quality, and impact, while creating space for business schools to exchange ideas, address shared challenges, and strengthen their role in shaping society.
As the AACSB community gathers in Asia Pacific, ICAM 2027 will be a powerful opportunity to celebrate global connection, regional insight, and the continued evolution of business education.
Why Attend
Two forces make ICAM 2027 essential this cycle: new global standards, and AACSB’s return to Asia Pacific.
Global Standards for Business Education™ and 2026 Accounting Accreditation Standards
ICAM 2027 is the first major global gathering where business education leaders can examine what the AACSB Global Standards for Business EducationTM and 2026 Accounting Accreditation Standards mean in practice, moving schools from “what do the standards say?” to “what do they mean for my school?”
- Standards Implementation Conference — the first flagship event to unpack the new standards in practice.
- Confidence in a New Accreditation Era — direct access to AACSB guidance, peer examples, and global discussion.
- Early Lessons From the Global Community — compare early implementation experiences across countries, regions, and institutional contexts.
- Global Expectations, Local Application — Bangkok offers a meaningful setting to explore how global standards are interpreted across regions, missions, and educational contexts.
