Welcome to the IACM 2025 Submission Portal!

We invite you to join researchers, educators, and practitioners from around the world as we venture to Lake Champlain at the University of Vermont in Burlington, Vermont, USA at the 38th annual meeting of the International Association for Conflict Management (IACM).

IACM was founded to encourage scholars and practitioners to disseminate research related to negotiation and conflict management in interpersonal, organizational, societal, and international settings. Past participants have come from the fields of communication, labor relations, law, organizational behavior, political science, psychology, sociology, and other related disciplines, and have included researchers, educators, practitioners, and Ph.D. students.

We welcome submissions that contribute new knowledge, understanding, and practice to negotiation and conflict management, spanning all research methods, related disciplines, and professional backgrounds. Submissions should cover new material, distinct from published works (including those that will appear in print before the conference), and ideally from presentations at other conferences. Submissions may be theoretical, empirical, or applied/practical in nature.
