What is GBAS?

The Global Business Anthropology Summit aims to inspire fresh perspectives, spurring creative mindsets and developing new ideas geared towards inclusive and sustainable futures.

GBAS held its first meeting in Detroit in 2018, and since then, a vibrant international community has emerged in New York, Berlin, and now Mexico City. Practitioners, researchers, innovators, business people, and others come together looking for tools and approaches offered by the holistic perspective of anthropology in action.

“Making Conscious Futures” – the 4th Global Business Anthropology Summit (GBAS MEXICO23) is a must for anyone interested in remodeling their thinking about organizations that care for a better future, particularly when it comes down to getting involved in coming up with solutions through Anthropology.

Main themes

Our conference will be organized around three themes:  Awareness, Uncertainty, Connections.

Awareness

In this axis, we will explore a proactive anthropological awareness that helps build more resourceful futures that benefit from social and/or environmental innovations that bring positive outcomes for businesses.

Connections

We invite contributors who can help us identify and re-evaluate stakeholders involved in changing the present for a more conscious future.

Uncertainty

We invite proposals that show how to handle uncertainty in order to boost new business opportunities.

Participation Formats

In 2023, the Summit will be getting a makeover in the form of new, interactive formats that we hope will encourage active participation and engagement from our audience. If you have a theme or thoughts to share with the other attendees, why not check the formats we are proposing? We are open to receive collective proposals as well.
