King's College London, University of Murcia, and Birmingham City Business School are co-organizers of CONF-BPS 2026. CONF-BPS 2026 is open to international participants. It provides an excellent opportunity for scholars interested in applied economics and enterprise management to share their findings and achievements, thus promoting communication and cooperation. This conference is supported by faculty members from Oxford Brookes University, University of Plymouth, University of Aberdeen, Durham University and The University of Sydney.

The goal of this conference is to bring together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to highlight the importance of economics and policy studies as well as establish new collaborations in these areas. The conference looks for significant contributions to finance, accounting and banking, enterprise management, and business ethics in theoretical and practical aspects.

CONF-BPS 2026 is a hybrid conference, establishing an online session and welcoming participants from all countries and regions to join whenever and wherever possible. Meanwhile, to facilitate broader academic exchange and knowledge sharing, CONF-BPS 2026 will host multiple on-site symposium series.
