Dear Western ABC US members,

We’re so excited for the upcoming ABC Western region Baja Mexico cruise conference on March 1-5, 2020. We hope you can join us.

Why a cruise? Yes, it will be fun. Yes, it will be affordable. But, those aren’t the primary reasons for a cruise conference.

The main reasons for a cruise conference are to hold deeper and more meaningful conversations about our work in the business communication discipline and to build a stronger community. Aboard a cruise ship, absent Internet connections, and surrounded by beauty, this conference offers a rare opportunity to truly be in the moment and enjoy rich presentations and discussions about business communication topics.

Please look out for the call for papers that will come out in May. We’re planning sessions on research, scholarship of teaching and learning, innovative teaching, and research development sessions.

Send me an email if you have any questions in the meantime at cardon@marshall.usc.edu
