PIBACC 2026 offers a Doctoral Consortium designed for early-stage and advanced doctoral students to present their research progress to a panel of experienced scholars and to engage with fellow doctoral candidates. The consortium provides a supportive and intellectually stimulating environment in which participants can receive constructive feedback, share ideas, and refine their research.

The Doctoral Consortium offers doctoral students the opportunity to present their work to peers and mentors who are experienced supervisors and leading scholars in their respective fields. The sessions are conducted in a collegial and semi-formal setting, enabling meaningful scholarly exchange while fostering open discussion and collaboration.

The primary objective of the Doctoral Consortium is to support doctoral students’ academic and professional development. Participants will receive feedback on their doctoral research and gain insights into key aspects of the doctoral journey, including research methods, publishing from a PhD, the peer-review process, and academic career pathways. The consortium also serves as an entry point into a broader community of engaged management scholars.
