The Inter­na­tional Aca­d­e­mic Forum (IAFOR) in con­junc­tion with its global uni­ver­sity part­ners is proud to announce the Inau­gural Euro­pean Busi­ness and Man­age­ment Con­fer­ence, to be held from July 3 – 6, 2014, at the This­tle Hotel Brighton in Brighton, United King­dom.

2014 Con­fer­ence Theme: “Indi­vid­ual, Com­mu­nity & Soci­ety: Con­flict, Res­o­lu­tion & Synergy”

The Euro­pean Busi­ness and Man­age­ment Con­fer­ence offers (EBMC) 2014 the occa­sion for wide-​ranging, inter­dis­ci­pli­nary dis­cus­sion cov­er­ing both pol­icy and research in Europe, and beyond. EBMC 2014 will again bring together experts and lead­ers from the aca­d­e­mic and busi­ness world to con­sider some of the press­ing issues schol­ars and aca­d­e­mics are fac­ing in an open forum; seek­ing to define ques­tions, pur­sue answers, search for research syn­er­gies and more; to both reflect on the recent past, and look for­ward, to exchange ideas and find­ings, in the excit­ing envi­ron­ment of an IAFOR event.
