Brought to you in partnership with WorldCC and NCMA

The CCM Institute’s annual Academic Symposium is a premier event designed to bridge the gap between academia and industry, fostering collaboration between leading scholars and commerce and contract management professionals. The 2025 event has now concluded, but all the content is available to you on-demand below!

As organizations navigate an increasingly complex and uncertain global landscape, the need for resilience has never been greater. The 2025 symposium explored strategic frameworks, innovative methodologies, and real-world applications that enhance commercial resilience through five key themes:

  • Contract performance management.
  • Adaptability in contracts and beyond.
  • Role of AI in enabling resilience.
  • Contracting for public good.
  • Impacts of geopolitical tension on commercial practice.

The Academic Symposium is more than just an event – it is a catalyst for change. By fostering collaboration between academia and industry, the symposium plays a crucial role in advancing research, influencing policy, and shaping the future of commerce and contract management. The insights generated contribute to more resilient, adaptive, and sustainable business practices, ultimately driving innovation and growth.

This Symposium on Commercial Resilience was inspired by ideas and conversations with Professor Lisa Bernstein and is the latest in a series of events for which she has been the originator or a key contributor.
