Conclave to integrate with ACTE’s CareerTech VISION in 2026: MBA Research Conclave: A Curriculum and Teaching Conference will become a key part of ACTE’s CareerTech VISION conference beginning in 2026 in New Orleans as ACTE celebrates its 100th anniversary!
MBA Research will partner with the Business Education Division to continue bringing you the same exceptional, high-quality professional development that you’ve come to expect from Conclave. This will include presentations from business executives, a hallmark of the Conclave agenda, and sessions led by education leaders from across the country.
The premier conference for business and marketing educators will now be part of the premier conference for CTE, making it easier for teachers to obtain exceptional business and marketing-focused professional development.
While the traditional Conclave will be on hold, we’re inviting you to participate in a series of free, interactive monthly webinars throughout the 2025–26 school year. These sessions will explore innovative topics and provide opportunities to connect with peers—a preview of what the reimagined Conclave will offer. The sessions will focus on current topics relevant to business and marketing educators and feature presentations by industry experts and educators.
Stay tuned for 2026 webinars!
MBA Research Conclave 2023 has driven my desire to excel in my role as a CTE Business & Marketing teacher, to stay current in the field, to connect with peers, and to ultimately benefit the students I have the privilege to educate.
MBA Research Conclave: A Curriculum & Teaching Conference has become the single most important conference attended by many business and marketing teachers. This conference typically expands over the course of a weekend to help accommodate the greatest number and minimize days out of school without sacrificing the extremely high-quality programming this unique professional development event offers.
Testimonials
This was an excellent opportunity to meet other business teachers from around the U.S. and the FBLA and DECA leaders. I loved hearing from business leaders as they spoke about their challenges and their wins—as well as their future goals. The sessions at Conclave provided a variety of resources I can take back to my high school classroom. Definitely the best PD I have attended that focused specifically on business teachers.
