    Management Educators:

    Conference registration is now open for the OBTC 2010: Teaching Conference
    for Management Educators (http://www.obtc.org), held June 16-19, 2010 at the
    University of New Mexico, Albuquerque. This is the annual conference for
    the OBTS: Teaching Society for Management Educators. Given strong interest
    in the conference, we encourage you to register early!

    The conference website at http://www.obtc.org contains information on
    registration options and prices, housing costs, and travel information, and
    will soon have a tentative timetable for the conference.

    OBTC is held annually at a college or university campus somewhere in North
    America. In order to minimize conference and food costs for attendees, as
    well as promote a strong community spirit, conference registration includes:

    1. participation in the OBTC sessions

    2. housing in an on-campus facility close to all conference activities

    3. all meals during the conference, including breakfast (Thurs, Fri, Sat),
    lunch (Thurs, Fri, Sat) and dinner (Wed, Thurs, Fri)

    4. conference bag complete with goodies

    5. all social events and receptions, including a wonderful Thursday-night
    dinner in Old Town Albuquerque followed by a guided ghost walk and a
    Friday-Night Dinner, Awards, and Talent Show

    6. a one-year membership to the OBTS Teaching Society for Management
    Educators which includes proprietary, member-only resources on the OBTS web
    site.

    7. a one year subscription to the Journal of Management Education


    University housing is primarily suite-style (4 to a suite) with individual
    bedrooms, shared social space, and a kitchen. There are also some
    single-occupancy rooms in traditional dorms (communal restrooms) that will
    be available when the suites fill up. When you register for housing, you
    will be asked to indicate your preferences for your suite-mates, so please
    have this information ready. On campus housing is paid for as a 3-night
    block (Wed, Thurs, and Fri). You’ll also have the opportunity to book
    pre-conference event housing in the same way.

    Attendees can also choose to register as a “commuter” and then make their
    own housing arrangements in nearby hotels or commute from home. Let us
    offer one caveat on this: Albuquerque hotel options are limited close to the
    University, and parking on campus is very scarce. The commuter fee covers
    everything described above for the "all inclusive" options EXCEPT for
    lodging in college residence halls and breakfasts.

    On the website there are regular, student/retired, and guest registration
    options. Sorry, but we do not have single-day registration options, or
    pro-rated fees based on late arrival or early departure.

    Let us also alert you to the pre-conference activities that are available.
    This year, we have the traditional T-Group as well as a Day of Mindfulness
    session. Information for both activities is provided on the website and we
    encourage you to join the OBTC community for these opportunities!

    If you have additional questions please check the conference website at
    http://www.obtc.org or contact the conference organizers listed below.

    See you at the conference! We are delighted with the sessions that will be
    included in this year’s conference and believe you’ll come away energized
    and refreshed!
