Conference reflections

“Participating in the EBM 2024 conference was a highly positive professional experience. The conference brought together researchers and professionals from different countries and disciplines, creating a valuable platform for academic discussion and the exchange of ideas in the fields of economics, business, and management. As a member of the Program Committee and a keynote speaker, I particularly appreciated the professional organization of the conference, its international character, and its focus on relevant and interdisciplinary topics. I believe that EBM has strong potential to further strengthen its international visibility and continue connecting the academic community with the challenges of today’s business environment.”

“What makes the conference truly valuable is that it goes beyond presenting research and creates space for collaboration, feedback, and further development of ideas. Its international character, welcoming atmosphere, and high professional standards make it a meaningful platform for researchers to share their work, hear different perspectives, and receive constructive comments that can help strengthen their papers for future publication. The conference brings together early-career researchers and experienced scholars, encouraging networking, joint projects, and lasting academic connections.”
