In the Mediterranean atmosphere of <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Barcelona</st1:city></st1:place> – and with the impressive record of the host IESE in organising Business & Ethics conferences – the 2009 <st1:personname w:st="on">EABIS</st1:personname> Colloquium (Sept. 21-22) promises to be an outstanding event. Benefit from the last days of the early bird discount and secure your place at http://iese.edu/eabis2009 until July 3.

With the role of business in society having changed dramatically over the past two years, the <st1:personname w:st="on">EABIS</st1:personname> 2009 Colloquium offers participants a unique opportunity to discuss and analyse topics such as new forms of corporate governance, executive accountability and organisational culture. Corporate Responsibility is the basis for building long-term sustainability into the global free market system, but what will be the new balance between:

• Freedom and regulation?
• Rights and responsibilities?
• Efficiency and ethics?

Together with high-level keynote speakers such as Peter Löscher (CEO, Siemens); Baldomero Falcones (Chairman and MD, FCC); José Manuel Salazar-Xirinachs (Deputy Director-General, ILO); we will debate:

• The nature and purpose of the firm
• The practical concerns for managers in times of crisis
• The consequences for management education, and
• The competences business leaders will require in the years to come.

<st1:personname w:st="on">EABIS</st1:personname> and IESE work closely together to present participants with innovative concepts at this international milestone event, while holding on to the "best of" features of former years. The highlights of the 2009 conference include:

• A new <st1:personname w:st="on">EABIS</st1:personname> Knowledge Exchange where business flag their key issues associated to a learning-need answered by latest academic research and thinking
• Presentation of 70-80 papers and case studies by top scholars and managers
• Book launch events for new <st1:personname w:st="on">EABIS</st1:personname> member publications
• Gala dinner in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Barcelona</st1:city></st1:place>'s Opera House – El Gran Teatre del Liceu
