Join us for a welcome message from AACSB leadership followed by the opening keynote session. Today’s business schools are under increasing pressure to address many worldly issues such as climate change, poverty, food insecurity, violence, public health epidemics and education gaps. Business schools have much to contribute to these fights, yet many struggle to figure out their role in addressing these global issues when there aren’t always clear-cut solutions or ways to measure success. Join this panel keynote session to gain a better understanding of the role business schools need to play in solving these wicked problems, including identifying the skills learners need to take on these challenges and make a positive change globally.

Is your business school looking for interesting content to support curriculum and independent research? Would you like to help students better understand business practices? Are your faculty interested in publishing case studies? If so, join us to learn about SAGE Business Cases, a collection of 5,000+ cases representing 120+ countries.

As learning has become pervasively hybrid, business schools are expected to accommodate all types of learners. Technological innovation will enhance both virtual and face-to-face learning experiences—like immersive platforms for increasing remote learner engagement or AI-enabled assessments for personalized tracking of learner skill mastery. As the future ushers in a technologically driven workforce, business schools will need to keep pace with emerging technologies in their curriculum and learning experiences. Presenters will share how their institutions are making strategic investments in technologies that serve diversified learner needs and how they’re addressing the educational demands of the future.

It’s become imperative for business schools to make mental health and well-being a priority at their institutions, but many are going about it in different ways. Join this session to hear from business schools the efforts they are making to ensure they’re turning out mentally healthy, emotionally intelligent managers who are prepared to lead others in the workforce, as well as why this is crucial from the industry perspective. Leave this session with a greater understanding of what contributes to mental health and well-being on campus and in the classroom and the steps you can take in supporting your students, staff, and faculty.

When Covid hit many institutions were forced to suspend international exchange programs and deliver online teaching programs that allowed their students to still engage with learners from around the globe. As the pandemic dies down, the big question now is what will happen in the future. Will everything be the same as before, or some things will change fundamentally? Will international learning and collaboration become more ‘virtual’? The spark of creativity in new internationalization programs is finding a permanent place in many b-school programs. Join this session to learn about new opportunities and possibilities for international collaborative programs in the post-COVID future, as well as which efforts will bring more benefits to learners and b-schools.
