Dear Sherly,
Business schools across Asia Pacific are navigating rising expectations from learners, employers, and society. To support your institution in meeting these demands, I am pleased to invite you to the inaugural Elevate: Asia Pacific, taking place 18–19 November 2025 in Hong Kong.
Formerly known as the Asia Pacific Annual Conference, Elevate: Asia Pacific is AACSB’s refreshed regional conference brand. It is designed to bring bold ideas, meaningful change, and impactful connections to business school leaders, educators, and industry partners worldwide.
As the first Elevate event globally, this gathering carries special significance. Lily Bi, AACSB President and CEO, will be present, underscoring the importance of this convening for our community. The conference offers a rare opportunity to connect with AACSB leadership and build relationships with our Member Success Liaisons and Accreditation Managers from across the Asia Pacific region.
This year’s agenda will feature:
-
Research Impact with Eileen McAuliffe, AACSB Executive Vice President and Chief Thought Leadership Officer, who will share how schools can demonstrate and amplify their societal contributions
-
Artificial Intelligence sessions that explore its role in accreditation, teaching, and the future of business education

High-profile keynotes on leadership, innovation, and institutional transformation
