About us... 

The Academy of International Business U.S. Southwest Chapter (AIBSW) was established in 1989 and held its first meeting in 1990. The Chapter holds its annual conference in conjunction with the Federation of Business Disciplines Meeting (FBD, formerly SWFAD), a collection of 12 business conferences attended by over 1000 participants. The conference incorporates a variety of activities including competitive research presentations, research-in-progress papers, and special panel sessions featuring distinguished IB academicians. The conference also provides access to comprehensive placement services and publishers' exhibitions. Each year, the Chapter presents an “International Businessperson of the Year” award to an outstanding executive from the Southwest region and presents "IB Educator of the Year" and "Best IB Paper" awards. In addition, AIBSW publishes the 'Southwest Review of International Business.'
