About the Event
International Conference on Management in Emerging Markets & National Industrial Summit
Welcome to The Wealth of Nations at 250: National Industrial Summit & International Conference on Management in Emerging Markets (ICMEM) 2026.
It is with great pleasure that I invite you to join us in this landmark gathering as we commemorate the 250th anniversary of The Wealth of Nations, Adam Smith's enduring contribution to economic thought and the understanding of markets, institutions, and prosperity.
We are living in a period of profound global transformation. Rapid technological advancement, shifting geopolitical dynamics, industrial restructuring, sustainability challenges, and evolving financial systems continue to redefine the way economies and businesses operate. In this increasingly interconnected world, meaningful progress requires more than adaptation—it requires collaboration, dialogue, and collective vision.
This summit has been designed as more than a commemorative event. It serves as a strategic platform where policymakers, business leaders, academics, regulators, and innovators can come together to exchange ideas, challenge perspectives, and shape future directions for industry and economic development.
As Indonesia continues strengthening its position as one of the world's leading emerging economies, we believe that the conversations initiated in this forum can contribute to building more resilient industries, more innovative institutions, and more sustainable pathways for growth.
Warm regards,

As Chair of the Organizing Committee, it is with great pleasure and anticipation that I extend a warm invitation to academics, researchers, students, and industry leaders to participate in the 10th International Conference on Management in Emerging Markets (ICMEM 2026).
ICMEM 2026 offers a unique and dynamic platform for the global exchange of knowledge and ideas on the theme: "Reimagining Global Markets: Embracing Humanities for Sustainable Business." This theme invites us to explore the intersection of business practices and the humanities, emphasizing the critical role of human values, ethics, and social considerations in shaping the future of global markets and sustainable business models.
In a world of rapid technological advancement, geopolitical shifts, and social challenges, rethinking the foundations of global business practices is paramount. In this context, the humanities serve as crucial lenses for understanding the human dimension of business and sustainability. This conference aims to highlight how the integration of these perspectives can drive more responsible, ethical, and inclusive business strategies in emerging markets.
ICMEM 2026 will feature a comprehensive program that includes research paper presentations along with the Industrial Summit event enable the academia to get insights of the current industry dynamics. These activities are designed to encourage the exchange of ideas and facilitate discussions on how business practices can evolve to address global challenges such as climate change, social inequality, and cultural preservation. We will focus on reimagining global markets, integrating sustainability into business operations, and leveraging the rich perspectives of the humanities to foster holistic, human-centered approaches to business.
The conference will explore how businesses in emerging markets can embrace cultural diversity, ethical decision-making, and social responsibility to create sustainable business models. We encourage submissions that examine the role of the humanities in shaping leadership, consumer behavior, organizational culture, and market dynamics, with a focus on how these elements contribute to achieving the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
We look forward to welcoming you to this exciting and transformative event at AYANA Midplaza Jakarta, on 19-20 August 2026.
Warm regards,
