The 40th Annual Mid-Atlantic Organizational Behavior
Teaching Conference – MOBTC-26
“Partnering with Artificial Intelligence as Your Teaching Assistant “
Venue: In-person in Founders’ Hall, School of Business,
La Salle University – Philadelphia, PA Saturday, April 18th, 2026
The focus of MOBTC-26 is to explore practical and innovative ways to use and engage students in the evolving Artificial Intelligence landscape. The one-day conference design allows for ample time between presentations for conversation with colleagues.
Among this year’s many exciting experiential sessions are, “From AI Cheaters to AI Collaborators,” James Norrie, York College; ”Moving Beyond the Yes/No AI Question,” Charles Fornaciari, La Salle University; “What is Academic Integrity in the Age of AI?,” Carolyn Gardner, Kutztown University; “Developing Empathy in the Era of AI” Waheeda Lillevik and students, The College of New Jersey; and “Data, Decks, and my Daughter’s App:…,” Keith Gutierrez, Temple University.
The MOBTC-26 conference will be a wonderful place to meet with colleagues, consider teaching ideas, and learn more about the fast-changing world of management education. No matter who you are teaching (undergrads, graduate students, executive learners) or how you are teaching (in-person, online, or hybrid), you will have an opportunity to experience, share, and develop ideas with old and new friends.
The $70 registration fee includes all conference materials, breakfast, lunch, and even afternoon cookies.
In addition, the fee includes a reception (heavy snacks and beverages) from 5:00 – 8-00 PM Friday evening, April 17th. We will have a memorial tribute to Steve Meisel at the reception that will include memories and stories of Steve as a colleague, mentor, and friend.
The reception will be in Founders’ Hall, School of Business, LaSalle University, Philadelphia, PA. The GPS address for Founders’ Hall is 738 Penn Blvd., Philadelphia, PA 19144. There will be free parking in a convenient university lot across the street from Founder’s Hall.
