Dear AAPBS Members,
On behalf of CFVG, the French Vietnamese Center for Management Education, I am delighted to welcome you to Hanoi for the AAPBS 2026 Annual Academic Conference. For more than three decades, CFVG has connected international academic excellence with regional perspectives, contributing to innovative and responsible management education.
This year’s theme, “AI and Digitalization in Business School: A New Chapter,” reflects a decisive moment for higher education. As AI reshapes how we teach, research, and lead, your insights will be essential in defining the future role of business schools in a rapidly evolving world. Beyond technological change, this topic invites us to reflect on the future mission of business schools, how we cultivate critical thinking, ethical leadership, and human-centered innovation in an increasingly digital era. Your expertise and contributions are essential to advancing this collective reflection.
You are guaranteed to participate to a 2026 conference really innovative, innovative and totally dedicated to the Asian leadership in global business education.
I am looking forward to meeting you on our campus in Hanoi this May.
Warm regards,
Fabien De Geuser
Director, CFVG
