This year will be ICMA's eleventh Academic Symposium. The symposium will likely be held on Saturday and Sunday (October 25-26, 2025). Recently, ICMA changed the start time of the opening general session to 1:30pm, so that cuts our normal Symposium time. If we have interest in presenting, we will need to spread the content out over Saturday and Sunday.
Members and non-members of ICMA may submit presentations for the academic conference panels. Sessions should be no longer than 20 minutes in length with up to 10 minutes for questions. The faster pace and executive summary format is appreciated by the practitioners in the audience and allows us to fit more sessions into the time slots during the in-person event.
While your school may submit more than one session idea, one of our goals is to have a broad representation of schools. As the audience is a mix of practitioners and academics include a portion of your presentation to address how your research or writing addresses the practice of management, for managers.
Sessions will be selected by a subcommittee ICMA's Graduate Education Committee.
Priority deadline is May 10, 2025
