Founded in 2004, the Technology in Business Schools Roundtable (TBSR) brings together IT leaders from AACSB-accredited business schools to share ideas, collaborate, and advance technology in higher education. Our members – IT Directors, Associate Deans, and Assistant Deans of Technology – work together to tackle common challenges, exchange best practices, and explore innovative solutions.
TBSR provides multiple ways to connect, from in-person events like our Annual Meeting and conferences with Educause and AACSB, to virtual sessions on current topics throughout the year. Membership gives access to a trusted network of peers facing similar challenges and pursuing similar goals, helping schools optimize their technology.
