About the conference

The conference is open to all areas of business and knowledge management, including but not limited to: Management, Accounting, Marketing, Finance, Human Resource Management, Information Technology Management, Operations Management, Information Systems, Economics, Electronic Commerce, etc.

Journal Publication
Full papers accepted for the conference will be published in a special issue of The International Journal of Innovations in Business. The previous CIBMP conferences have been sponsored by various journals including The International Journal of Online Marketing and the International Journal of Finance and Management, both of which published papers from the conference.

Doctoral Symposium
Doctoral researchers (PhD scholars) are strongly encouraged to attend and participate in the doctoral symposium which is being held concurrently. The doctoral symposium offers PhD scholars the opportunity to share their research or ideas with other like-minded individuals and get feedback. You can submit an abstract of your research. The research can be in any stage of the process. You will benefit from getting feedback on your work, meeting other students who may be doing similar work and the opportunity to network with people from all across the globe.

Quick paper selection process
All papers are blind peer reviewed. However, we endeavor to get back to you in the shortest possible time frame. The conference works on a first come, first reserve basis. Once a paper has been submitted, it will be sent off to reviewers. If the paper passes the criteria for selection, i.e. it gets enough marks from the reviewers, a notification will be sent immediately. Hence, there is no need to wait for deadlines, and you as the author will get a reply in a short period of time, allowing you to make appropriate arrangements for your travel, etc.

Online presentations
For those speakers who are unable to attend the conference physically, you can still have your paper published! We will allow you to make an online presentation. You can send us your presentation and/or a video, which will then be uploaded to the site. This will allow you to have a paper published, and get feedback! Please contact us if you have any issues in getting to Dubai, and would like to arrange an online presentation. You can get in touch with us at s.kowkab@cibmp.org.

Dubai has become a thriving city and tourist destination with more than 10 million visitors a year. Having expanded along both banks of the Creek, Dubai is divided into two parts - Deira on the northern side and Bur Dubai to the south, as well as the top tourist destination of Jumeirah.

Abras, the traditional water taxis, are regularly used each day to cross people over to either side of the Creek. Each side has its share of fine mosques and public buildings, shopping malls, hotels, office towers, banks, hospitals, schools, apartments and villas. Dubai is blessed with golden sunshine and silvery beaches, world-class golf facilities and an upcoming Sports City.

From the timeless tranquility of the desert to the lively bustle of the souk, Dubai does not only boast the best contemporary sightings but has also preserved some of the most intriguing historical attractions.

Some of the most extraordinary attractions in Dubai include Burj Khalifa, Hydropolis Underwater Hotel, Atlantis Resort & Hotel, The World Islands, Burj Al Arab, Jumeirah Mosque, Dubai Museum, Jumeirah Beach Park etc.

The Dubai Shopping Festival organized each year makes the city a shopper’s paradise. The city also hosts The Dubai World Cup (horse race), PGA desert classic golf tournament, camel race and other sports events that generate ample interest among fans and race enthusiasts.
