The yearly gathering of Deans and leadership teams of UK business schools

Early Bird and Group Booking Discounts available

Each November the Chartered ABS Annual Conference brings together over 300 business school Deans and senior leadership teams; and senior representatives of government, the wider higher education sector and business.

The conference is a great opportunity to reconnect with colleagues from across the sector; and join discussions about the future direction of business & management education, research, school strategy, and about what it it means to be a business school in the new social and economic environment.

Programme themes for 2023 include:

Nurturing prosperity and purpose: the role of business schools
How business schools are being challenged to develop future leaders who are equipped with the skills, behaviours and knowledge to both get ‘transactional business’ done, and look beyond the financial bottom line and navigate the complex intersectionality of people, planet and profit.

Rethinking business and management education for a volatile global market
How business schools are responding to the challenge to deliver an ever-wider range of programmes, delivered in increasingly varied ways to an ever broader, more diverse, and more dispersed student body.

Driving responsibility and sustainability
How business schools are responding to the demands of students, educators, governments and businesses to deliver education that addresses the sustainability agenda by weaving sustainability into teaching, research and other aspects of school strategy.

Creating cultures of inclusion
How business schools can support staff through incorporating EDI objectives in strategic plans, including underrepresented staff in leadership decisions, creating ‘safe spaces’ for candid dialogue and other ways.

The programme is in development and will be released in the summer. Programme themes include:
