GBSN Beyond will be held in Accra, Ghana November 3-5, 2025 and hosted by Ashesi University, with the November 3 GBSN Members Meeting hosted by CEIBS Accra. More information coming soon!

Business schools are ideally placed to be the nexus between government, business and civil society in shaping a collective response to our most critical challenges.

GBSN Beyond is about breaking the traditional boundaries of business education. It highlights and supports business school efforts to transform society—to build more inclusive and sustainable communities, especially in the developing world. 

As GBSN enters the 22nd year since its founding, we continue to learn, grow, and evolve through partnership with our members. The conference offers a program of keynotes, panel discussions, lightning talks, networking activities, and more. Go Beyond the ordinary and join us as we convene to develop actionable solutions.

A vibrant hub of exchange, learning, collaboration and discussion.

GBSN Beyond — in its sixth year since its evolution from a traditional annual conference format — serves as a unique and intimate international forum.

With an innovative approach to what a conference can be, GBSN Beyond provides a variety of engaging learning experiences, knowledge exchanges, and opportunities to network and connect with colleagues from across the globe.
