Dear Scholar,

We are delighted to announce that IV. Leadership Academy & Management Congress, hosted by the Silifke Chamber of Commerce and Industry will take place from 24th to 26th November 2023 in Kyrenia, TRNC.

The IV. Leadership Academy & Management Congress is an exceptional and innovative gathering that brings together professionals from the business world and academia. This congress serves as a significant platform for University-Industry Cooperation, fostering the exchange of knowledge and experience while promoting interaction.

In the past editions of the Leadership Academy, held in 2018, 2019, and 2021, a total of 58 successful conferences and training sessions were conducted. These sessions involved 122 different institutions/organizations and attracted over 1500 participants. During the event, we facilitated the signing of cooperation protocols between chambers and commodity exchanges, as well as the establishment of various commercial agreements and collaborations among business professionals. Furthermore, we brought together the academic knowledge and experience of the business world. Participants had the opportunity to enhance their human and social capital through a diverse range of educational activities, including seminars, academic sessions, panels, B2B interviews, company introductions, and leadership workshops that focused on the inspiring power of leadership and its ability to influence people.

Due to the high demand and the intensive nature of the program, we regret to inform you that we can only accept a limited number of papers for oral/online presentations during the Leadership Academy, both face-to-face and online.

We sincerely invite you to join us at this distinguished event, where you can contribute to the literature and engage in discussions regarding the latest developments in the field of Leadership and Management.
