Heuristically, effective social networks should positively influence connectedness across the globe. Unfortunately, over the past two years, there has been an increase in governmental restrictions blocking the flow of digital information, international travel and tourism have been slow to recover to pre-pandemic rates, and the rising trend of nationalism continues to threaten the flow of trade and capital. How can technology, a primary driver of global connectedness, accelerate international trade and protect privacy? Advances in technology may revolutionize global business yet increase inequality, whereby connectedness is decreased. We acknowledge the DHL Global Connectedness Index as a measure of year over year change and call on researchers to provide more nuanced antecedents and outcomes of being linked or joined through this years’ conference tracks. This year’s conference takes place in Buckhead, a business district within the city of Atlanta, GA. The conference is co-hosted by both Georgia State University’s Robinson College of Business, CIBER and Georgia Institute of Technology’s Scheller College of Business, CIBER. Buckhead is known for upscale malls, art galleries, and diverse cultural events.
