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.
