Welcome to the IACM 2026 Submission Portal!
We invite you to join researchers, educators, and practitioners from around the world as we venture to one of the most beautiful and culturally rich cities in the world - Vienna, Austria for the 39th 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.
All submitted papers and assigned reviews can be accessed through your dashboard upon signing in.
Before proceeding to submit, please take note of the following links:
- Submission Guidelines: It's imperative to submit in accordance with the guidelines. Submissions that do not adhere to the guidelines are likely to be desk rejected.
