NBEA'a 2023 Convention Has Best Attendance in Half a Decade
Business educators from California to Lagos, Nigeria, gathered in Kansas City to recognize award winners, network with other educators, and receive ideas that make teaching a greater joy. NBEA Executive Director Joe McClary said, "The association enjoyed its best convention attendance in over five years. Reduced COVID-19 issues and a larger group recognizing the benefits of being involved in a professional association helped drive higher attendance. NBEA has made substantial investments in improving the convention experience by adding meals and reducing fees for retirees, students, and more. As more teachers attend the convention, the stronger we invest in next year's event to continue the upward trend." Check out the convention photos on Facebook.

Cupcakes, Hats, Entrepreneurship, and Marketing Education |
If your students think being an entrepreneur involves thinking of some unique product or service, someone has never thought of, think twice. NBEA and its Southern Region leaders are proud to announce that two amazing entrepreneurs have made it big on things as simple as cupcakes and hats. Gigi Butler and Scott Molander will be joining attendees as part of the Entrepreneurship, Business, and Marketing Education Summit in October 2023. First is Gigi Butler (pictured above), entrepreneur and founder of Gigi’s Cupcakes, who admits her success story is full of sweet irony. Gigi opened her first Gigi’s Cupcakes location just off Music Row in Nashville, Tennessee in 2008. Gigi’s Cupcakes is now the largest cupcake franchise in the world. Gigi will inspire entrepreneurship and marketing educators with her secrets to success and what we must pass on to students.
Second is Scott Molander (pictured below), who is one of the Founders and former Chief Operations Officer Lids. Lids is a retailer specializing in athletic headwear. Lids primarily operate under the Lids brand with stores in the U.S., Puerto Rico, Canada, Australia, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom, plus various websites. The majority of the stores operate in shopping malls and factory outlet centers. Scott is now a business educator who shares his passion and knowledge of entrepreneurship and marketing with his students.

If you teach entrepreneurship, business, or marketing, this is your chance to discover the best tools and practices available. The Summit brings teachers together to share the best ideas when teaching entrepreneurship. This is a national event hosted by NBEA in cooperation with its innovative members from its Southern Region. This event is only possible with the leadership and vision of the NBEA's Southern Region's leadership. NBEA and its southern contingent are pivoting away from regional meetings to host nationally significant meetings on specific topics business educators need to focus on. Find out more

The AI Horse is Out of the Barn: How we approach it now will determine whether it hurts us.
Generative AI systems like ChatGPT, recently made available by OpenAI, are a fascinating use of emerging technology that has captured the world's attention. Search instances for “AI” peaked at an all-time high in December 2022 as a direct result of conversations about that system (trends.google.com). It’s not just the “tech nerds” that know about this stuff now and to say many in the education industry are “worried” is a colossal understatement (e.g., Downs, 2023; Warner, 2022). These systems hold a lot of promise for how they will positively impact our lives. Still, they challenge our notions of intellectual property and who is rightfully the owner or creator of a piece of art, a written passage, or an idea. Certainly, those of us in the education industry will need to wrestle with whether using these tools is “cheating,” if students should be allowed to use them, or under what circumstances it is acceptable.
