The topics are designed for a broad audience, including deans, chairs, and program directors. The program begins with a "Networking Breakfast" open to all attendees at no additional cost.

EY leadership discussion of current issues in the profession
AICPA presentation on hiring trends and entry-level opportunities
Strategies to increase donative support to accounting departments and schools
Teaching, motivating and engaging the next generation of accounting students
Ideas for measuring research impact
Approaches to incorporating data analytics into accounting programs
How to identify and assess “predatory journals”
AACSB updates
Tips and tools for developing metrics and assessments
Comments of American Accounting Association's President-Elect Marc Rubin
Wellness practices for faculty

The AACSB seminar will precede the program on Thursday, February 8th. If there are any interest groups that would like to meet during one of the breakfasts, please contact us so that we can designate a table for your group.

We look forward to seeing you in San Antonio!
