Purpose

The Leadership in Digital Innovation Summit is designed to spark and sustain both scholarly and practical passions—particularly for junior faculty and PhD students—by bringing together eminent academics and leading practitioners. Our goal is to empower early-career researchers to produce and publish work that is both rigorously evidence-based and highly relevant to practice.

Participants will:

• Hear first-hand from a distinguished keynote speaker and senior leaders about what it takes to create impactful, practitioner-oriented research.
• Engage in fireside chats and small-group discussions with senior scholars and industry practitioners to gain practical insights, ask questions, and explore emerging themes.
• Build meaningful connections with mentors, peers, and editorial board members who share a commitment to excellence and relevance.

Registration required. We encourage all attendees to stay for the entire program to experience the full arc of the summit—from inspiration, to guidance, to actionable takeaways.
