Academy of Business Research
ABR has simultaneous sessions in a variety of business disciplines going on throughout the day. One of the primary advantages to our conference is that the peer-reviewed proceedings are abstract only.  This allows the full papers presented at the conference to still be published in an academic journal without copyright issues. The conference allows a friendly forum for presenters to bounce ideas and gain constructive feedback that can then be used to enhance the full paper.  Many papers presented at past ABR conferences have subsequently been published in top tier journals in their field.

The Academy of Business Research publishes four academic journals. Each journal is listed in Cabells and all articles are double blind, peer reviewed.  Topics considered for the conference (and journals) include but are not limited to: Accounting, Business Law, Economics, Education, Finance, Health Care, Human Resources, Management, MIS, Marketing, Operations Management, Public Administration, Real Estate, and Strategy.

Best paper awards are voted during each session of the conference. There is a corporate sponsor for each best paper award. Past corporate sponsors for best paper awards include AACSB, Cabells, Coldwell Banker, SSRN, Sentina Publishing, Silver Wheaton, Trump Entertainment, and many others.

Presentations may be made also via Skype. Our last few conferences have had participants Skype in from all over the world!
