MBAA InternationalAmerica's Best Conference Value!

2016 Conference DatesApril 13 through April 15, 2016

When Easter is in late March (as it is in 2016) we are usually forced by the hotel market to move our

conference to February. HOWEVER, in 2016 we will enjoy springtime in Chicago with a mid-April conference!

MBAA International is what a great conference should be! Dialogue and development, fellowship and friendship—hundreds of your colleagues across every business discipline from around the world—in an amazing city and all at an incredible price. That’s why MBAA International is known as America’s best conference value!

Our track record as a leader in high-value professional development now spans one-half century, and our reputation for incredible entertainment is just icing on the cake.

With 12 tracks covering every business discipline, leading education resource exhibitors, practical help on practical topics—including how to get published—(and two high quality, high impact evenings of entertainment), it’s easy to see why MBAA International continues to be America’s best conference value!

What Does MBAA Stand For?We used to get this question a lot but now, for most people, MBAA International stands for MBAA International—kind of like IBM stands for IBM. (Okay, most people know that IBM actually stands for International Business Machines, but IBM is really all you need to know.)

We could say that MBAA stands for a high quality, high value, multi-disciplinary gathering of leaders from around the world with a half century of history to present and receive useful research, share effec-tive pedagogy, and network in a fun and familiar setting.

We could say that, and it would be true. Nobody has been doing what we do for as long as we’ve been doing it. Some people say that MBAA International invented the multidisciplinary conference. I don’t really know about that, but I do know that it’s a great group of people and the anchor to my own academic career. My fi rst ever academic publication came right here at MBAA International in 1985, and I’ve been coming back every year since.

Back then we were known as the Midwest Business Administration Association. We were formed in 1964 when a group of professors from leading universities, including Indiana University and the University of Kansas, recognized the need for an interdisciplinary business conference.

We grew and we grew—in both reach and reputation—so that we came to have regular participants from all 50 states and dozens of countries. It didn’t seem right to keep calling ourselves Midwest—it just wasn’t true.

We talked about our name for a while and, like good professors, we took a survey. Someone mentioned that AACSB International went through more or less the same process—expansion in their reach and reputation—and, like us, they didn’t want to abandon decades of brand identity with their familiar AACSB moniker. So AACSB became AACSB International. It seemed to our membership that if worked for them it ought to work for us, so we became MBAA International. So now MBAA International stands for MBAA International and it represents a lot of people from a lot of places.

And now you know.

MBAA INTERNATIONAL:50+ Years of Value

Over a half-century ago (1964), Schuyler F. Otteson and L. L. Waters of Indiana University and Charles Saunders and Sidney Feldman of the University of Kansas gathered, as they later wrote, “on the occasion of the American Economic Association meeting” and planned our inaugural meeting in 1965.

MBAA INTERNATIONAL has become successful beyond the great dreams of our founders. They established a culture of coordination and cooperation that still thrives.

More than 50 years later, MBAA INTERNATIONAL is still going strong. We’ve built on the innovative, interdisciplinary vision of these great leaders to become AMERICA’S BEST CONFERENCE VALUE!

The MBAA INTERNATIONAL experience is the inviting feeling of the familiar and the excitement of the new.

The MBAA INTERNATIONAL experience is collegiality and fellowship, renewing friendships, and making new ones.

The MBAA INTERNATIONAL experience is initiating and continuing dialogues about teaching and research.

The MBAA INTERNATIONAL experience is the rich mixture of attendees from colleges (large and small, public and private), governmental agencies, nonprofi t institutions, and the business community.

The MBAA INTERNATIONAL experience is Chicago—an incredible city with entertaining events, great food, and ’round-the-clock action.

We're fl attered that some other organizations have adopted our “multidisciplinary experience” approach, but nobody has been doing it longer and many believe nobody does it better than MBAA International—America's long-term leader in low-cost, high-value integrative professional development.

EXHIBITOR SERIES – McGraw-Hill Connect9:30–10:45 a.m. ............................................................ Clark 10, 7th FloorTheme: Flipping the Classroom with McGraw-Hill ConnectPresenter: Jeffrey Anderson, Senior Lecturer and Director, OHIO International Consulting Program, Ohio UniversityWhile virtually unknown a few years ago, the fl ipped classroom is one of the most important trends in higher education today. The fl ipped classroom is a model of learning that rearranges how time is spent both in and out of class, shifting the ownership of learning from educators to students. In the fl ipped classroom, students watch short videos at home, before the class session. Valuable class time is devoted to higher cognitive, active learning where students apply course concepts to solve problems and gain a deeper understanding of the subject. These activities provide opportunities for students to develop vital skills needed in the 21st century including critical thinking, creativity, communications, and collaboration.

The fl ipped classroom is part of a larger pedagogical movement that overlaps with blended learning, inquiry-based learning, peer instruction, and other active instructional approaches.

In this session we will explore the need to make pedagogical changes in today’s higher education courses. We will discuss best practices for using class time in a fl ipped environment and digital tools from McGraw-Hill that allow you to deliver content, assess learning, and give you the support to fl ip your classroom today.

Clark 10, 7th FloorTheme: Flipping the Classroom with McGraw-Hill ConnectPresenter: Jeffrey Anderson, Senior Lecturer and Director, OHIO International Consulting Program, Ohio UniversityWhile virtually unknown a few years ago, the fl ipped classroom is one of the most important trends in higher education today. The fl ipped classroom is a model of learning that rearranges how time is spent both in and out of class, shifting the ownership of learning from educators to students. In the fl ipped classroom, students watch short videos at home, before the class session. Valuable class time is devoted to higher cognitive, active learning where students apply course concepts to solve problems and gain a deeper understanding of the subject. These activities provide opportunities for students to develop vital skills needed in the 21st century including critical thinking, creativity, communications, and collaboration.

127


The fl ipped classroom is part of a larger pedagogical movement that overlaps with blended learning, inquiry-based learning, peer instruction, and other active instructional approaches.

In this session we will explore the need to make pedagogical changes in today’s higher education courses. We will discuss best practices for using class time in a fl ipped environment and digital tools from McGraw-Hill that allow you to deliver content, assess learning, and give you the support to fl ip your classroom today.
