Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP) Region 1 Conference | Bridging the Gap

Join us on November 7–8 for the Region 1 ACBSP Conference, where our theme, “Bridging the Gap – Meeting the Needs of Today’s Businesses,” takes center stage. This year, we’re focusing on building stronger connections between business programs and the business industry, ensuring our students are well-prepared for the workforce of tomorrow.

We are especially grateful to the ACBSP members who completed our pre-event survey; your insights directly shaped our programming and helped us design a conference that addresses the needs and interests of our community.

Over the course of two engaging days, participants will enjoy:

• Dedicated networking opportunities to foster meaningful connections
• Roundtable discussions for collaborative problem-solving
• Panel presentations featuring both students and industry leaders
• Hands-on workshops focused on innovative strategies to bridge the academic-to-industry gap

Whether you’re an educator, administrator, or industry professional, this conference offers valuable perspectives, practical tools, and collaborative experiences to help close the gap between business education and real-world business needs.
