Twenty-Sixth International Conference on Knowledge, Culture, and Change in Organizations
- Organization in Uncertain Worlds
- 25-26 June 2026
- Thoravej 29, Copenhagen, Denmark + Online
Founded in 1993, the Organization Studies Research Network comes together around a common concern for, and a shared interest to explore, new possibilities in knowledge, culture and change management, within the broader context of the nature and future of organizations and their impact on society. We seek to build an epistemic community where we can make linkages across disciplinary, geographic, and cultural boundaries.
The Twenty-Sixth International Conference on Knowledge, Culture, and Change in Organizations calls for research addressing the following annual themes and special focus:
In-Person: In-Person presentations will be delivered onsite. We offer innovative formats for a range of presentation styles.
Online Only: online presentations will be delivered and viewed online as asynchronous digital media. Online Only presenters also have discussion boards to structure conversations and access to other online activities.
Conference as Archive: we'll capture and add as much content as possible on the conference microsite. While it's a requirement for online-only presenters, we strongly encourage in-person presenters to pre-record and upload their presentations to the conference microsite. The conference microsite becomes an archive to which delegates and Research Network members can return anytime.
With this step-by-step guide, we walk you through the new phases pre/during/post-conference to ensure you have a productive conference.
In-Person: participate in innovative in-person formats, plenaries, talking circles, garden conversations, and on a human scale. You will also have access to all online-only content.
Online Only: gain access to live and recorded presentations, welcome addresses, plenaries, and curated thematic content -- from any place and in your own time.
Conference as Archive: we'll capture and add as much content as possible on the conference microsite. And you can help here too. If you do not see digital media on a presenter page, you can request it from the presenter. You can also add comments to discussion boards of all content. The conference microsite becomes an archive to which delegates and Research Network members can return anytime.
We are working to change how knowledge is produced, validated, and shared within member-based Research Networks.
The Organization Studies Journal Collection offers pathways to transform your presentation into formal research objects. We also offer several affordable Open Access pathways to allow maximum flexibility to support principles of open research and funder mandates.

All Presenters (In-Person and Online Only) are asked to upload Digital Media (a video of the presentation as embed code, MP4, PowerPoint, or PDF) to their Presentation pages. This content will be delivered and viewed online as asynchronous digital media. We require presenters to add their digital media to their Presenter Page at least one week before the conference start date, as our Program Development Team will review all media.
