The sixth edition of the European Technology & Operations Management (TOM) Day is back and welcomes you to share your knowledge with academics from European Business Schools, with a focus on related topics.

This conference will bring together research communities, to network, present and discuss the latest trends and research in the field. Attendees can expect a single track of 30-minute presentations distributed among doctoral students and faculty members, as well as a 60-minute “Meet-the-editors” session, which features department editors from leading TOM journals.

Founded by HEC Paris, IESE Business School, INSEAD, Judge Business School, London Business School, and the UCL School of Management, we invite you to come along and contribute to a open-knowledge conference.
