Annual MBAA International Conference

 A collegial organization welcoming academics and practitioners interested in applying scholarly research to today's business challenges

Each year since 1978, the MBAA International has returned to Chicago for its annual meeting. The March meeting typically includes around 800 participants, representing approximately all 50 states and dozens of foreign countries. Participants come from a variety of institutions, large and small, public and private, to attend the three day conference.

  All papers submitted for consideration at the conference are double blind refereed. A McGraw-Hill/Irwin Best Paper Award is presented to one meritorious paper in each of the twelve disciplines each year.

Since its first meeting in 1965, the MBAA International has acted as a coordinating body for autonomous groups in a variety of business-related academic areas. Eleven formal tracks with over 800 active members make up the MBAA International. These organizations represent a variety of disciplines, including accounting, economics, finance, health administration,  information systems, business society and government, international business, legal studies, management, marketing, operations management and entrepreneurship, and case studies.
