We welcome submissions addressing the GBATA Fourteenth Annual International Conference theme: Mapping the Global Future: Evolution Through Innovation and Excellence.

The theme is designed to encourage submissions that take unique perspectives on the critical issues related to multi-cultural, economic, technological, social, legal, and regulatory challenges that public and private industries and organizations encounter. The author must specify paper(s) by track number, list two track numbers if appropriate, and up to four key words that describe the paper(s). Authors may seek guidance on matching their work to a track by contacting Prof. Dr. N. Delener, Conference Chair (E-mail: delener@gbata.org; info@gbata.org).

The Conference will include contributed paper sessions, invited and plenary presentations, case studies, round tables, panels, workshops and forums.
