About the Conference
The inaugural Research Conference and Workshop on Offshoring offers opportunities for academic scholars in a wide spectrum of the social and management sciences and thoughtful leading edge practitioners to share their research, ideas, offshoring interests, and resources. The conference will feature panels on emerging offshoring themes and trends and two interactive poster sessions organized around lengthy meal events. It also provides the opportunity to share and discuss research, case studies and other resources for incorporating offshoring content into teaching. In future years, the hosting of the Conference will be rotated among the co-sponsoring CIBER schools.
