About IAC and IAC 2026:
The Industry Academia Conference (IAC) has established itself as a premier platform, uniting thought leaders from academia and industry to shape the future of talent and organizational excellence. Over its seven successful editions, IAC has brought together over 1,000 key decision-makers, fostering meaningful conversations and actionable strategies for addressing the evolving challenges of the workforce and workplace.
In 2026, IAC returns with a transformative theme: “From Gurukul to Boardroom – Indian Knowledge Management Systems in Present day organizations.”
This year’s conference will be held on 12th and 13th February at the Hotel HOLIDAY INN, Aerocity (New Delhi), offering two days of inspiring discussions and collaborative opportunities in Indian Knowledge Management Systems in Present-Day Organisations.
Key Themes & Track:
- Indian Knowledge management systems as living frameworks for leadership
- Balancing Tradition with Modernity: Road ahead for Indian organizations
- Wellness, Sustainability and Humanistic Leadership: The Triple Success Engines
- Gen-Z and Indian Knowledge Management System: Ally or Strangers
These conversations will foster a collaborative environment where industry stalwarts and academic leaders share diverse perspectives, tackling challenges and shaping forward-thinking solutions for the workforce of tomorrow.

In keeping with this tradition, IAC 2026 is set to host a dynamic and power-packed Awards session, showcasing and acknowledging excellence in both realms.
