The World Congress of Business History returns in July 2026 for its third global gathering!
🌍 Theme: Global Connections / Diverse Directions: Building Bridges Across Business Histories
Typical Submission Formats
1. Single paper submissions from which the program committee arranges panels.
2. Session proposals submissions consisting of 3-5 papers on a specific theme suggested by the applicants themselves.
3. Tracks of more than one session on a single theme or approach (up to three sessions—to be held over the course of one afternoon)
Alternative formats
The organizers also welcome submissions with alternative and creative formats, such as workshops, roundtable debates/discussions, and poster presentations. In such cases, submissions should be sent directly to the organizers. Possible alternative formats include:
● Workshops, groups of scholars who want to use the opportunity of the congress to meet and discuss publications or specific themes. (Note: All materials to be discussed during individual workshops must be uploaded to the conference website at least three weeks before the congress.)
● Roundtable discussions on the state of the field and selected aspects of business history.
● Debates on new research agendas and new approaches to teaching “business history.”
● Poster presentations.
