It is with great pride that I take this opportunity to introduce you to our beloved academic organization, the International Academy of Business Disciplines (IABD).
In 1987, IABD was formed on the foundation of three major principles: To create a friendly academic conference setting where people can come to present and discuss ideas, network, and share knowledge in an atmosphere of mutual trust and consideration; To facilitate a multidisciplinary environment where discussions are generated across business-related fields and social disciplines by both scholars and practitioners;
To promote a true international experience where all cultures, ethnicities, viewpoints, values, and beliefs are welcome and respected.
It is our sincere hope that you attend our conference, meet and network with other attendees, enjoy all the activities that the host location has to offer, and continue to participate and possibly play a role in the exciting future of IABD.
In closing, I look forward to meeting you, introducing you to our members, and personally making sure that your experience with IABD is a memorable one. On behalf of the entire IABD organization … Welcome!!

I have been attending IABD each year since the beginning.
An important factor that distinguishes IABD from other conferences is the relaxed laid-back atmosphere of the sessions and social gatherings.
Specifically, the discussants and audience do not attack the merits of the paper presentation; instead offering constructive comments and asking inquisitive questions.
Further, the IABD leadership strive to keep down costs in all the expenses associated with conference attendance to give good value for your money.
Our conference always offers a wide variety of sessions across business disciplines. If you need help in choosing a track to present your research, just ask.
I look forward to seeing you in the future.

Having predominately attended the “mega-conferences”, I was pleasantly surprised when I first attended IABD to find a group of scholars who not only focused on advancement of academic research but also the development of young professionals (such as myself) and the simple joy of fellowship with others within our field. Not only was I able to make the program without having submitted a ready-for-print “A” journal article but I was also able to gain true constructive feedback from those in attendance who had the knowledge and experience to make my research better. Because IABD does not focus on job placement, those in attendance were more-less settled in their careers and therefore were there to truly engage in academic exchange rather than the stressful networking for survival.
