Greetings South Carolina Accounting Educators!

The Board of Directors of the South Carolina Association of Accounting Educators (SCAAE) is busy preparing for our 2025 Annual Meeting. This year’s theme, “Innovating the Future of Accounting: STEM, Generative AI, and Emerging Technologies,” is focused on the rapid evolution of the accounting profession, driven by advancements in technology, data analytics, and artificial intelligence. As we prepare the next generation of accounting professionals, it’s essential to integrate STEM-driven approaches into our education, ensuring students are equipped with the skills necessary to thrive in a tech-centric, data-driven world.

We’re excited to announce that this year’s meeting will take place February 21-22, 2025, in Spartanburg, South Carolina, at the USC Upstate George Dean Johnson College of Business and Economics. We hope you will join us for a program designed to explore the fast-changing future of accounting and offer numerous opportunities to connect with fellow accounting educators across the state.

As always, the success of this event relies on the involvement of our dedicated colleagues. We invite you to contribute your knowledge, research, and innovations by submitting session proposals. The submission deadline has been extended to December 20, 2024, and the submission link can be found on the SCAAE Annual Meeting page of the SCAAE website. Your insights and contributions are invaluable to the success of our community.

Beyond learning about the latest developments in the accounting profession and related technologies, this conference provides a unique opportunity to build lasting connections with fellow South Carolina educators. By collaborating on new ideas, we can strengthen our collective commitment to advancing accounting education in the context of an ever-evolving STEM landscape.

On behalf of the SCAAE Board, we look forward to welcoming you in February 2025. Please visit the links on the SCAAE website to submit proposals, register, and book your accommodations.
