Abstract
The College of St Germain is a private, liberal arts college in the US Midwest. Several faculty members developed and launched an academic business and economics conference. Despite a lack of funding from the college, and a general apathy among other colleagues, the conference became financially self-sufficient and grew each year, with increasing attendance and submissions from many international scholars. Part (A) of the case focuses on the beginning, planning, and growth stages of the conference, and culminates with the successful conclusion of the third annual conference and planning for the fourth conference. Part (B) focuses on the fourth and fifth conferences, and concludes with the surprising cancellation of the sixth annual conference. The case highlights the challenges and accomplishments of the conference chairpersons and the organising committee, as well as management, marketing, and leadership factors that contributed to the ultimate demise of the conference.
