Tourism Program Coordinator, Assoc. Professor Tinatin Kublashvili represented International Black Sea university at NIBS Annual Conference in Harbin, China in May 2019. The Network of International Business Schools (NIBS) is an association of business schools from around the world, united by a shared view that the internationalization of business and globalization of the economy are essential elements in the evolution of managerial practices. NIBS provides its members a platform to connect and collaborate with each other and to mutually improve its degree programs with an international perspective. The success of NIBS is founded on its members actively participating in network activities.

The 2019 NIBS Annual Conference held at Heilongjiang International University, in Harbin, China. Experts and universities from across China were invited to join, so was the perfect opportunity to expand Chinese network. The theme of the conference was “Changing China” which reflects the rapid changes in China and especially the changes in education and business sector.
