The hosting of the annual IRSPM Conference is a significant decision for the IRSPM Board of Directors, given the central role the conference plays in the development and visibility of the Society and the field of public management. The conference also represents a valuable opportunity for the host institution to engage with an international community of scholars and practitioners.

We are now inviting applications to host the IRSPM Conference in 2028.

Please complete the IRSPM Conference host application form (available for download below) and send it to conference@irspm.org by 1 December 2025.

The applications will be reviewed by the IRSPM Host Site Selection Committee and a short-list of potential hosts will be presented to the IRSPM Board Meeting in April 2026.  Presentations will cover the items on the application and any additional requests for information from the HSSC / Board.  Following this meeting, applicants will be notified of the outcome of the Board's decision on their application.

We also welcome Expressions of Interest for hosting the IRSPM Conference in 2029 and future years. If you wish to express interest for hosting beyond 2028, please complete the same IRSPM Conference Host Application Form and submit it at your convenience to conference@irspm.org
