IELTS International Partners with AACSB to Provide Conference Registration for ICAM 2010

LOS ANGELES, March 3 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Today IELTS International announced an offer for a free conference registration for an attendee to the 2010 Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) International Conference and Annual Meeting (ICAM) to be held April 18-20 in Anaheim, California. IELTS, the premier English language proficiency test, is taken by over one million test takers annually.  Recognized by over six thousand top higher educational institutions and professional bodies in the U.S. and worldwide, IELTS provides evidence that non-native speakers have the English proficiency skills required for academic success.

AACSB International, the preeminent accrediting agency of college and university business schools and accounting programs worldwide, is devoted to the advancement of higher education in management education.

IELTS International strongly supports AACSB's mission to advance quality education and to provide on-going professional development through conference participation and the sharing of ideas. To assist management school professionals who wish to continuously upgrade their knowledge and skills, IELTS International will provide a full conference registration to an attendee with less than five years experience in the field who is directly involved in the strategic planning, recruitment or admission of international students in schools of management or business.

"Higher educational institutions around the globe have had to make serious cutbacks in costs due to the financial downturn, including instituting restrictions on conference attendance.  IELTS International is pleased to be able to provide financial assistance to an individual who may have otherwise been unable to attend this year's AACSB ICAM," said Beryl Meiron, Executive Director of IELTS International.
