Annual Conference
The annual International Conference Promoting Business Ethics is held at DePaul University every three years. In alternate years the conference is hosted in cooperation with Niagara University and St. John’s University.

This conference was conceived as a natural extension of the basic mission and values of those institutions which share a commitment to the vision of St. Vincent de Paul and his dedication to education and service. This annual conference seeks to promote business ethics through excellence in academic research and the practical application of that research to business situations. Topics in all areas of business and professional ethics are addressed.
