Global Advances in Business Communications (GABC) Journal and Tricontinental Conference

The Tricontinental Conference on Global Advances in Business Communications (GABC) is an annual conference jointly sponsored by Eastern Michigan University, the Technological University of Malaysia and the University of Antwerp. The conference rotates annually among the three partners. In June 2009, we launched our inaugural conference at Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti. Nearly 100 scholars from 16 countries attended. To read more about this first GABC conference, please click here.

The GABC Conference brings together academics and practitioners to consider ongoing scholarly activities and business practices which shape and are shaped by the changing nature and level of global business communications. The GABC Conference is intentionally interdisciplinary, bringing together scholars researching on five separate fields joined together through global business communication:


		International and cross-cultural business communication and negotiations

		Global aspects of integrated marketing communications (IMC)

		Communication aspects of international law and global business ethics

		Languages and business communication

		E-Semantics
		[cross-cultural, language-based international issues associated with search terms, string searches, web design, web site user friendliness and electronic advertising keywords]

All submissions to the GABC conference are blind reviewed.

The 2012 GABC Conference will once again return to Eastern Michigan University. For more information, please click here.

In Spring 2013 the University of Antwerp will once again host the GABC Conference and in Spring 2014 the GABC Conference will return to the Technological University of Malaysia.

The GABC Journal, though independent from the conference, covers the same five tracks and is a joint publication of the three GABC partners. For more information or to submit articles for review to the GABC Journal, please click here.
