Present Your Research and Engage Scholarly Conversation

The Association of AfBridge Scholars holds an annual academic conference where scholars present papers, discuss evidence and engage questions across disciplines.

The conference brings together work connected with theology, business, technology, health and their intersections. Each annual theme provides a focus for inquiry while allowing contributors to examine it from their own fields. We encourage papers that state a clear problem, explain the approach taken and identify the contribution the work seeks to make.

Current Call for Papers
Pending Confirmation
The current call for papers will identify the theme, relevant strands, submission requirements and important dates once approved. Authors should follow that call when preparing an abstract. We do not publish an invented theme, deadline, word limit or registration fee ahead of institutional confirmation.

These buttons route to Contact until a dedicated abstract-submission and registration workflow is built once the call for papers is approved. Submitting an abstract and registering to attend are, and will remain, separate processes.

Presentation and Discussion

The conference offers a setting for constructive engagement with scholarly work. Presenters should explain their central argument, evidence and limitations clearly. Participants are encouraged to question respectfully and offer feedback that helps authors strengthen their papers.

Preparing a Referenced Paper

Theology papers should use the Harvard Colon Variant. Papers in Business, Technology, Health and other disciplines should use APA 7. Follow the current call for papers for abstract requirements, and use the appropriate referencing style in the full paper and any subsequent manuscript.

Publication Opportunity

Authors may develop their conference papers for submission to the AfBridge Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies. Manuscripts must follow the journal's scope, submission and editorial requirements. Conference acceptance and journal acceptance are separate decisions.

Past Programmes and Abstracts

AfBridge has not yet published a past conference year. An archive of verified past programmes, abstract books and permitted recordings will appear here as they occur, with author and speaker permission obtained before publication. We do not state or imply that a previous conference took place.
