From the Sinergie-SIMA 2026 Conference Chairs
Dear Friends,
The management discipline is in transition: we are arranging the Sinergie-SIMA 2026 Management Conference to offer a vibrant platform for discussing how our field is playing a central role in transforming organizations and society, as well as to reflect on the extent to which management itself must evolve.
The Conference will take place in Pavia, a historic university town with a medieval soul, the ideal environment for fostering knowledge exchange and networking. The conference format has been carefully designed to leverage the potential of our research and innovation ecosystem, while ensuring a high-quality experience for all participants.
The programme will feature plenary sessions with renowned keynote speakers and cross views from academia and practitioners, alongside parallel sessions and special tracks promoted by SIMA’s Thematic Groups.
For the first time, the Conference will also host an exhibition of research centers. We believe this edition will provide an extraordinary opportunity to reflect collectively on the challenges and opportunities emerging in an era of accelerated technological and managerial change.
We look forward to welcoming you to Pavia for the 2026 Sinergie-SIMA Management Conference.
