The Association for Business Communication (ABC)

The Association for Business Communication (ABC) is an international organization committed to fostering excellence in business communication scholarship, research, education, and practice. It has been operating for more than sixty years and publishes two refereed journals, the Journal of Business Communication and the Business Communication Quarterly. Currently the ABC is organized into five regions in the United States and four international regions: Canada, Europe, Asia/Pacific Rim, and Caribbean/Central/South America. Regions hold individual conferences in the spring and combine in the fall for a large ABC Annual Convention in the U.S. Sixty-seven ABC Annual Conventions have been held to date. More information on ABC is available at www.businesscommunication.org.

At the request of the European members, ABC Europe was established in November 1996 as a new region, with the regional president (Vice President Europe) elected through a vote of European members. ABC Europe has attracted much interest and the number of European members in ABC continues to grow. For information on the ABC, ABC Europe, and membership, contact ABC Vice President Europe, Gina Poncini, at gina.poncini@lu.unisi.ch.
