A RETURN OF THE HYBRID CONGRESS

Why Hybrid?

Following the success of the hybrid 2021 ICSB World Congress, we continue to deliver our annual World Congress both in-person and virtually. Our events are meant to be a meeting place for all stakeholders in the small business and entrepreneurship community. It is here where attendees and participants are able to ground themselves in our community while working to propel the studies of entrepreneurship forward. Remaining hybrid means remaining accessible to all, ensuring that each participant can reap the full benefits of attending while staying safe.

How we make it happen

Alongside in-person events, this year’s World Congress also includes live streamed sessions through Zoom, digital discussion board and meet-up rooms through our conference app Whova, and tech support from the ICSB World Congress team.
