About
The 26th CEEMAN Annual Conference titled “Redefining Management Education: Excellence and Relevance” will be taking place from 19-21 September 2018 in the city of Prague, Czech Republic. CEEMAN Annual Conference is the most important annual event of CEEMAN – the International Association for Management Development in Dynamic Societies.
The 2018 annual conference will deal with the topics that have been very high on the agenda of management education professionals and who tackle questions such as: how to make management education more relevant in order to prepare future corporate leaders and successful entrepreneurs, how to make academic research more relevant, how do we narrow the gap between management practice and education, etc.
We are proud to announce that Roger Martin, who was named the world’s #1 management thinker by Thinkers50 in 2017, and Johan Roos will join us at the conference as keynote speakers, to share their views on redefining management education.
Besides keynote addresses, presentations and highly interactive roundtables with speakers and participants, the conference will also include several side events, such as company visits, pre-conference sessions, exhibition opportunities for publishers and partners, individual Dean2Dean advisory meetings, CEEMAN’s IQA-International Quality Accreditation session, CEEMAN Annual Meeting, and CEEMAN Awards Ceremony.
The conference will be co-organized with University of New York in Prague, the largest and leading English language higher education institution in the Czech Republic.

The National Gallery became the owner of the Convent of St. Agnes in 1963 and the final phase of renovation followed. Since 1978, the convent is a national cultural heritage landmark and a gallery.
