Call for Papers – 4th Annual Social Network Society Conference
We invite submissions to the 4th Social Network Society (SNS) Conference, hosted by IESE Business School in Barcelona on June 19–20, 2026.
The conference brings together an international community of scholars working on cutting-edge research on social networks in organizations and management. The program will feature a keynote address by Tiziana Casciaro, and leading network scholars-including Brandy Aven, Raina Brands, Fabio Fonti, Alessandro Iorio, Martin Kilduff, Marissa King, Jessica Methot, Elisa Operti, Eric Quintane, Stefano Tasselli, and Anne Ter Wal-have already confirmed their participation.
The SNS conference provides a highly interactive setting for presenting and discussing new research on social networks. Each accepted paper will receive dedicated feedback from an expert discussant, creating strong opportunities for intellectual exchange and mentorship.
We welcome submissions from scholars at all career stages, particularly PhD students and early-career researchers. The conference is designed as a developmental workshop, and we especially encourage submissions of promising early-stage projects.
