Started in 2004, the International Borneo Business Conference (IBBC) has emerged as a platform for academicians, researchers, practitioners, policy makers to interact and exchange viewpoints and research findings on contemporary business and economics issues related to the Borneo region and the global world. IBBC is a biennial conference and the previous three conferences were successfully held in 2004, 2006 and 2008.

The 4th International Borneo Business Conference (IBBC) 2010 will be organised by the Faculty of Business and Economics, University Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS), on December 13 - 15, 2010.
