Digital platforms and markets conferences and workshops

Research on digital platforms and markets connects information systems with economics, strategy, and operations. Questions can include platform governance, market design, network effects, digital business models, and interactions among participants. These events carry the directory's Platforms & markets topic tag; their profiles explain the particular community and research fit.

Find the community that fits your approach

The same platform question can be studied through empirical analysis, experiments, formal models, or organizational research. Review the event's focus and organizer program to judge whether your question and methods belong there. A topic match identifies a relevant community, not a guarantee that every track accepts platform research.

Use recurring meetings without assuming future details

Workshops and research days can help identify potential collaborators alongside broader conferences. Listings with unconfirmed next editions stay on the watchlist; past dates, locations, and registration benchmarks are historical context only. Consult the official organizer source for the edition you intend to attend.
