March 12-14, people from our group will attend the BHC meeting, Business History Conference. 
The meeting will take place in Charlotte, North Carolina, Charlotte Marriott City Center.

 What is BHC?

The Business History Conference is a scholarly organization devoted to encouraging all aspects of research, writing, and teaching about business history and about the environment in which businesses operate. 

The annual meeting provides a forum for discussing current research in business history and related fields and offers an opportunity for people with similar interests to meet and exchange ideas.

 Program Committee

The program committee will be chaired by Benjamin Waterhouse (Univeristy of Nothern Carolina, Chapel Hill), and includes Fahad Bishara (University of Virginia), Xavier Duran (Universidad de Los Andes, Bogata), Christina Lubinski (Copenhagen Business School), and Alexia Yates (University of Manchester), along with BHC President Edward J. Balleisen (Duke University). 

 Theme

The theme of the conference is "Collaboration in Business and Business History". 

For the meeting, BHC welcome proposals that examine: 

• the evolution of cooperative dynamics in specific enterprises and industries, or within the wider business environment, from any period, society, or region;
• the social, cultural, political, legal, and policy responses to cooperation in the business realm, again without limitation to era or geography; and especially. 
• the challenges and opportunities presented by undertakings in business history that pull together larger teams, including those that incorporate participants with other disciplinary backgrounds and integrate research and education.
