Chartered ABS Annual Conference 2024

The yearly gathering of Deans and leaders of UK business schools

The Chartered ABS Annual Conference brings together over 350 business school Deans and senior leadership teams; and senior representatives of government, the wider higher education sector, and business.

This year’s conference takes place against the backdrop of a new government and some signs of optimism, but with considerable prevailing challenges. It will provide attendees with a valuable opportunity to discuss the future direction of business schools and their role in shaping our economy and society.
