Dear ONE colleagues,
(Apologies for cross posting) We are pleased to extend the submission deadline for the International Association for Business & Society (IABS) 2026 Annual Conference until Monday, December 15th, 2025!
The 37th IABS Annual Conference will be held in Providence, Rhode Island, USA, from Thursday, June 4th to Sunday, June 7th, 2026! With its theme: The Roads Not Taken: Exploring New Frontiers in Business and Society, we invite you to reflect on the paths we have not taken so far, and to imagine what lies ahead for us in the near future. What roads have we failed to explore in business and society, and how can we venture into uncharted territories (ex. Artificial Intelligence, Quantum Computing, climate crisis, demographic shifts, social inequality, etc.)? As per IABS tradition, the annual conferences are developmental and encourage participants to submit their work on any topic from the broad field of business and society. You can find the detailed information about IABS 2026 from its webpage. Also, please find the attached Call for Submissions (PDF).
Submissions
We invite submissions for five types of sessions, including discussion sessions, paper presentation sessions, symposium sessions, workshops, and innovative sessions. Before submitting, please carefully review the descriptions and submission requirements for each session type, provided on the Call. Please use the submission link.
Conference Venue and Booking
The conference will be held at the Renaissance Providence Downtown in Providence, Rhode Island, USA, located near the Providence Amtrak station, close to Providence Airport, and across from Providence Place. We have negotiated a room rate of USD 235 per night (plus tax) for conference participants. The reservation link is here.
