Conference Brochure

Founded
This conference was conceived as a natural extension of the basic mission and values of these institutions, which share a commitment to the vision of St. Vincent de Paul and his dedication to education and service. The annual conference seeks to promote business ethics through excellence in academic research and the practical application of that research to business situations.

Our Vision
We are creating a more ethical world by dramatically changing the hearts and minds of the individuals and organizations with whom we interact.

Our Mission
We will achieve this vision by creating a synergistic community of business and academic professionals, brought together to build a richer academic exchange and a more ethical business environment.

Our Participants
Academic and business professionals come together for compelling conversations about pragmatic issues facing business today to create a more ethical business environment and a richer academic exchange.

Call for Proposals
We are looking for business professionals and academics who have an interest in business ethics (in its broadest and widest sense) to submit formal proposals. View the complete call for proposal information.

Special Feature
As a special feature of this year’s conference, on Thursday, October 27, we will be highlighting ethical issues facing the insurance industry and related research. To encourage fresh, new research in this area, the School of Risk Management, Insurance and Actuarial Science of The Peter J. Tobin College of Business, is providing cash prizes of $3,000, $2,000, and $1,000 for the best papers on insurance/ethics issues research. A special committee to judge those papers is being established.

The conference will be held at the Manhattan campus of St. John’s University located in the heart of New York City’s historic Financial District, minutes away from the World Financial Center, The Statue of Liberty, Battery Park and the South Street Seaport as well as many other attractions and museums.

The Manhattan campus is located between Greenwich Street and West Street on Murray Street. It is easily accessible by mass transit. If you are traveling by car, the campus's location on the West Side Highway makes it easy to reach whether you are driving from upstate, the city's other boroughs, Long Island, New Jersey or any of the area's major airports.
