Università Politecnica delle Marche and The Industrial Marketing and Purchasing Group (IMP) are happy to welcome you to the 42nd IMP Conference in Ancona, Italy, 1–4 September 2026.
The IMP 2026 conference theme – Building Sustainable World Through Business Relationships and Networks – explores how interaction mechanisms, business relationships, and networks contribute to addressing societal challenges and advancing sustainability.
In addition to regular IMP themes on b2b marketing, we encourage contributions that explore the role of business relationships and networks in advancing environmental and social sustainability, responses to grand challenges such as climate change, inequality, and digital transformation, the paradoxes and unintended consequences of pursuing sustainability goals. We also welcome processual studies, interdisciplinary approaches, and methodological innovations that extend the scope of IMP research.
