Call For Proposals - Submissions Closed

The theme for the 2020 Annual Conference and Assembly Meeting held at The Westin Galleria in Dallas, Texas, USA is Experiential Learning: From Lecture to Real World. In line with this theme, the IACBE is soliciting proposals for conference presentations on a wide range of topics relating to experiential learning in business and management education.

NEW THIS YEAR – IACBE-Peregrine Leadership Institute Best Paper Award

The author of the selected paper will receive an invitation to attend a 2-day leadership development workshop presented by the Peregrine Leadership Institute in Gillette Wyoming during the subsequent 12-month period that includes $1,500 for travel reimbursement.
See below for details regarding the Best Paper Award.

All proposals for presentations will be peer-reviewed for acceptance. (Proposals for poster presentations will not be peer reviewed).

In 2020 IACBE will be structuring the presentation schedule around two “tracks” related to the topic of the presentation. Presentations that fit into one of the “tracks” will be given preference over other topics.

Business and Management Education track presentations should be designed to share best practices and innovative teaching techniques to improve student learning. The intended audience is full-time and part-time/adjunct faculty. Presentations could be general, applying to any business discipline, or they could be specific, applying to only one discipline.

For Example:

• Best practices for using PowerPoint in the Classroom (general)
• Teaching Accounting to Non-Accounting Students (specific discipline)

Experiential Learning track presentations should be designed to share best practices related to experiential learning, both inside and outside the classroom. The intended audience is deans, program chairs, directors, and faculty.

For Example:

• Using outside experiences to prepare students for the workplace
• Linking classroom activities with real-world experiences

The IACBE welcomes proposals for presentations in other areas relating to best practices and excellence in business education, but preference will be given to presentations that follow the above guidelines.
