27th Annual NASBITE International Conference

NASBITE International is a professional organization for the global business community. Our members include global business educators and trainers at academic institutions; trade specialists at federal, state and local trade assistance organizations; and practitioners that engage in or facilitate global business activity. Our mission is to advance the practice of global business. Part of that mission involves coordinating and administering the Certified Global Business Professional (CGBP) credential. As part of our continuing efforts to promote the exchange of information and resources among global business education and assistance professionals, we sponsor our annual conference, which is known for its high "take away value and camaraderie. Our Memphis conference will include outstanding key note presentations, dozens of breakout sessions on a variety of topics of interest to our various membership constituencies, networking events, and exhibitors demonstrating the latest tools and technology. In crafting your presentation proposal, we encourage you to consider both our conference theme as well as the needs and interests of our various membership constituencies, including service providers, international trade and business development centers, faculty at two and four year colleges, as well as practitioners.
