ABC Southwestern US Call for Papers - Albuquerque March 2018

An invitation to all ABC members!

The Association for Business Communication Southwestern Region, in partnership with the Federation of Business Disciplines, is holding its yearly conference in Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA from March 7–10, 2018.

We invite you to submit a proposal for a presentation on your research or a best practice in teaching you would like to share. Full papers will be considered for the Richard D. Irwin Distinguished Paper Award.  

This is a great opportunity for you to work on interdisciplinary research with colleagues as it relates to communication because of the variety of disciplines FBD represents, noting that interdisciplinary research is part of the 2013 AACSB standards.  

This “conference within a conference” opportunity allows you to attend all ABC sessions, as well as sessions of the other eight affiliated business discipline organizations for one low registration price. While there, you can connect with colleagues old and new, and attend stimulating sessions. 

Research papers or position papers related to business communication in the following areas are encouraged:

 

Communication Technology

 

Technology and Education

 

 

Innovative Instructional Methods
