2025 ABC Annual International Conference

October 15-18, 2025

Join Us in Long Beach, California

Celebrating its 90th anniversary, the Association for Business Communication (ABC) is an
international, interdisciplinary organization committed to advancing business communication
research, education, and practice. The 2025 ABC Annual International Conference theme is
“Gateway to Transformation: Enacting Change and Encouraging Innovation.”

Business communication professionals are often asked to be rhetorically flexible and make connections between disparate audiences and contexts in our teaching, research, and consulting. Like the conveyance of imports and exports in Long Beach, we will convey our communication cargo from ABC to the world. Attendees will enjoy learning from interactive workshops, thought-provoking panels, fresh pedagogical approaches, and relevant research presentations.
