About the Conference

 

Formerly known as CAVO, the Center for the Advancement of Virtual Organizations, we are proud to launch our new identity: CHVO — The Center for Hybrid & Virtual Organizations.

 

As the world of work and learning accelerates into hybrid and virtual ecosystems, CHVO and CBEM — The Center for Business Innovation, Entrepreneurialism & Management — lead the conversation, connecting research, innovation, and practice to help educators, organizations, and professionals thrive.

 

Our Mission

• Bridge research and real-world application

• Empower educators, leaders, and industry professionals

• Shape the future of learning, work, and workforce success

 

Join us at the 2026 CHVO CBEM Virtual Conference, which brings together leaders, researchers, and entrepreneurs for two days of forward‑thinking exploration at the intersection of work, innovation, and global opportunity.

 

Day One: Reimagining Work Without Borders: Insight. Research. Discovery., examines emerging technologies, groundbreaking research, and the evolving landscape of hybrid collaboration through keynotes, expert panels, and interactive sessions.

 

Day Two: Entrepreneurship Without Borders: Building, Scaling, and Owning in a Global Economy, expands the conversation by challenging participants to think beyond geography and platforms as they explore what it means to build with intention, scale with strategy, and own the value they create. Together, these themes inspire a holistic vision for leadership, innovation, and impact in a truly borderless future.
