AIB 2018 – JEECAR Expo, Minneapolis, USA

The Journal of Eastern Europe and Central Asia Research (JEECAR) was well represented at the Academy of International Business (AIB-2018) annual conference in Minneapolis, Minnesota on June 26-28, 2018. In attendance were Dr. Nikolay Megits, Editor-in-Chief of the Journal and professor at Hamline University and at Webster University, Thomas Hanson, Director of the Institute of Eastern Europe and Central Asia, Diplomat in Residence at the University of Minnesota-Duluth, and Chair of the Minnesota Committee on Foreign Relations, Dr. Ruth Chatelain-Jardón, Associate Professor at Texas A&M University – Kingsville, and Dr. Charlotte Davis, Deputy Editor of the Journal and Associate Professor of Management at Concord University in Athens, WV.

The AIB-2018 Conference was an excellent venue for networking and building support for the Journal as well as providing an opportunity to introduce our publication to potential scholars who might wish to publish in the Journal. There were attendees from many countries, including Poland, Ukraine, Russia, Lithuania, Kyrgyzstan, the Czech Republic, Hungary, and many others from the Journal’s focus areas as well as from other regions around the world. Many people showed an interest in the Journal, and the representatives were glad to provide them with information.

There were also opportunities for researchers to participate in various paper sessions to present their work, interactive learning sessions to encourage better teaching, seminars on the future of business education, and occasions to find other scholars with similar interests who might be co-authors in the future.

At this time, we are preparing for the JEECAR conference scheduled on November 15-17, 2018, in Las Vegas, NV to celebrate the 5th anniversary of the JEECAR’s founding and success. JEECAR editorial team members are warmly invited to attend https://ieeca.org/conferences.
