The International Society for Professional Innovation Management Conference (ISPIM Innovation Conference), formerly branded as the ISPIM Conference, will bring together innovation management professionals from research, industry and intermediary organisations. The conference format will include facilitated themed sessions for academic and practitioner presentations together with discussion panels and workshops.
