Dear Friends,
From the conference's inception, three simple words guided our thinking and planning. Research. Friends. Reunion.
Thanks for your participation in all three. We consider the first two years a success and proof of concept. We learned a great deal by listening to and incorporating your suggestions and ideas. The research presentation and working papers were thought-provoking, unique, and well done.
We are now pleased to pass the leadership torch for GSBRC III to Marianne Loes and Kenny O’Connor. They will need your help in carrying on the spirit of the conference. If your interested in chairing or reviewing for next year’s conference, don't hesitate to get in touch with them.
Again, thank you for the support of this conference. A special thank you to Matt Howard, Amy Fleet, Amanda Akey, Rachel Backlin, Dean Michael Capella, and the Mitchell College of Business for supporting this idea and helping it become a reality. It was an honor to help launch this conference as a means of both strengthening our alumni group, interacting with current students, and networking with other faculty across the country.
See you in 2026!
Jen & Britton
The Gulf South Business Research Conference is returning in 2026 — and we’d love to keep you informed!
