Hello Academy of International Business Colleagues,

 

Our annual Global Business Forum will be held at Baylor University in Waco, Texas, a couple of weeks from now, and the theme this year is The Global Classroom: Issues in International Education. All events are free and open to the public. Free registration is required for the meals, because we need an accurate count, and because seating is limited.  Online free registration for the meals is available here.

 

A schedule of activities for the full week is provided below. Additional information will be available at: http://www.baylor.edu/globalbusiness

 

Please feel free to share this information with anybody who may be interested.

 

All the best,
