IASIA 2026 Conference Registration Is Now Open

Diana Muia,

Momentum is building for the IASIA 2026 Annual Conference, and registration is now officially open.

From 12-16 October 2026, Athens will become the meeting point for the international public administration community as more than 600 delegates gather to exchange ideas, build partnerships, and explore innovative responses to today's governance challenges.

This year's conference, held under the theme "Rethinking Governance for a Changing World," comes at a particularly meaningful moment as IASIA celebrates its 65th anniversary. The enthusiasm surrounding the event is already evident, with over 600 submissions received from researchers and practitioners across the world-setting the stage for one of the Association's most vibrant conferences in recent years.

Participants can look forward to an engaging programme featuring keynote addresses, Working Group sessions, thematic panels, special events, networking opportunities, and discussions that bridge research, policy, and practice.

Whether you are an author, practitioner, policymaker, or passionate about the future of public administration, IASIA 2026 offers a unique opportunity to connect with a truly global community.

Join us in Athens and be part of the conversations shaping the future of governance!
