October 22-25, 2003, at the Hyatt Regency Albuquerque.

Special
focus: Communication and Ethics
The
reputation of Corporate America has been battered
by a "perfect storm" of highly publicized instances
of unethical behavior. This has created both a
new context and special challenges for the practice
of business communication. ABC's 2003 convention
theme addresses the significance this new context
and these challenges:
- What is the relationship between ethical communication
and ethical business behavior?
- How would we characterize ethical communication?
- What are the effects of unethical communication
on all stakeholders?
- What are current best practices in ethical
communication? What companies or organizations
are doing a particularly good job?
- How can we infuse the business communication
curriculum with a profound understanding of
the need for ethical communication within and
beyond the corporation.
