Dear AIB-SE Member, *AIB-SE 2021 Conference Update* After careful considerations of the current institutional and health environments, the AIB-SE board has made the decision to hold the *AIB-SE 2021 annual conference as a virtual event*. According to our recent survey, many AIB-SE community members are still concerned about the potential health risk as well as the uncertain institutional travel support for the conference. The board believes that holding the conference virtually will help more community members to participate in the event. Although it will be virtual, we firmly believe that this year’s theme, “Global Business Environment: Managing Risk & Resilience,” will allow participants to introduce unique perspectives and insightful research highlighting responsive and resilient strategies. This year’s virtual event includes awards for Best Conference Paper, Best Paper by a Doctoral Student, and Best Paper by a Master’s/Undergraduate student. AIB-SE applauds service to the academy and awards Best Reviewer and Best Student Reviewer. Benefits to conference attendees: · Feedback - reviewer comments on submissions · Engagement with AIB Fellows, AIB-SE Fellows, and Eminent Scholars · Meeting new colleagues and old friends The Submission system is now open – deadline June 25, 2021. Click here <https://meetings.aib.msu.edu/us-se/2021/> to submit a paper. Registration for the conference October 21-23, 2021 will be open in August.
