Best Practitioner Paper

October 2-5, 2008 ♦ Washington, DC, USA

This year, we will highlight the work of business practitioners presented during the concurrent sessions with our first annual Best Practitioner Paper contest.  The conference committee will select 3 of the most promising, worthy abstracts submitted for this year's conference.  These abstracts will be presented during a special designated track during the Friday (October 3) morning concurrent sessions (sessions 1-3), during which a selection committee, chosen by the conference committee, will view and judge each presentation.  The winner will then be announced during the Friday evening Awards Ceremony and Dinner.

Abstracts may include academic co-authors, but should be written and presented to address a business practitioner audience.  The presentations should be practical and managerial yet innovative and engaging.
