To stay current in your role as Associate Dean in any business school, you must attend the AACSB Associate Deans conference.

Attending the Associate Deans AACSB conference was truly a game-changer... I left with a renewed sense of purpose and a toolkit of ideas to elevate our academic programs.

The Associate Deans Conference is the best conference to attend if you serve in the Associate Dean role. It provides a welcoming community of peers... and excellent sessions on topics that are relevant specifically to associate deans.
