ASAC 2026

The future is harnessed by our attitudes, thoughts, and actions. What better way to harness the future than with a spirit of open-minded thinking, strategic foresight, and interdisciplinary innovation.

This year’s theme, “Blue Sky Thinking: Harnessing the Future,” speaks to all ASAC divisions, creating space for exploring a more profound knowledge of emerging technologies, entrepreneurship, inclusive business practices, ethical leadership, digital innovation, sustainability, indigenous business practices, and pedagogically sound future-focused education. It offers a platform for transformative research and dialogue with ASAC champions, bringing together academia, industry, and national directives to shape meaningful and impactful outcomes. Rooted in the metaphor of limitless opportunities, “Blue Sky Thinking” invites management and business scholars, educators, and practitioners to look beyond present-day constraints and envision new futures that are sustainable, inclusive, and innovative.

At ASAC 2026, you’ll find the inspiration and collaboration inviting you to think big to make our future better for everyone. Whether you’re at the beginning of your academic journey or an established thought leader, this is your opportunity to spark connections, challenge assumptions, and drive meaningful change in the business world.
