About IMCon 2026
The theme for the International Management Conference 2026, “Management Renaissance: Purpose Meets Profits,” seeks to ignite a transformative dialogue around redefining business success in the 21st century. In an era marked by global disruption, evolving consumer consciousness, and urgent sustainability challenges, the traditional profit-driven model of management is undergoing a profound shift. A “Renaissance in Management” suggests a major transformation in the way organizations think, act, and grow – moving beyond traditional models that focused solely on efficiency, productivity, and profit. This “Renaissance” signifies a return to values – ethics, inclusivity, sustainability, and human-centric leadership while embracing innovation and strategic growth.
The conference invites thought leaders, scholars, and practitioners to explore how organizations can harmonize purpose with performance, where financial profitability does not overshadow but coexists with social responsibility and environmental stewardship. It calls for reimagining leadership paradigms, rethinking stakeholder values, and redesigning systems that promote equitable and enduring success.
Through multidisciplinary panels, insightful discussions and deliberations, the conference aims to offer insights into how purpose-led businesses can become the norm rather than the exception. It is a platform to reflect on the evolving role of managers as agents of change, driven not only by market outcomes but also by a commitment to societal well-being. As we stand at the crossroads of business and humanity, this renaissance invites a future where purpose and profits walk hand in hand.
