Dear Colleagues,
The program for the 2026 MSOM Conference, including all SIG and MSOM presentations, has now been released. Please visit here to view the (tentative) program. Due to system limitations, we will be sending out the formal decisions manually on ManuscriptCentral throughout today (May 8th), and you should expect to receive the corresponding formal decision the latest by May 9th. For MSOM extended abstract submissions, similar to previous years, unfortunately we are unable to provide individual reviews. For SIG submissions, you should expect to receive the formal decision along with the reviews from the corresponding SIG Day Chair. For SIG 1RR submissions, you should expect to receive the formal decision along with the reviews from the corresponding Guest DE.
A small number of SIG 1RR decisions are still pending. We will release those decisions to the authors as soon as the required reviews are received and update the program accordingly.
Speaker Registration
All speakers, including MSOM presenters, SIG presenters, and poster presenters, must register by June 10th, 2026. Due to high demand for presentation space this year, speakers who fail to register by this date will be removed from the program.
TODO for MSOM Presentation Authors:
We currently assume that the submitting author is the presenting author at MSOM 2026. If you are no longer able to present your work at HBS, or if you need to change the presenting author of record, please fill out the form at https://hbs.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eJrzn94LDEiU6IS within 48 hours of receiving this message.
TODO for Poster Presentation Authors:
We are pleased to invite you or one of your co-authors to present this work as part of a poster session to be held on Tuesday July 14, 2026. This poster session will be held in open spaces organised by themes, during a time not overlapping with other sessions, and the posters to be displayed may be as large as 48” wide and 36” high. Please keep 0.5” margin space at the top and bottom of your poster to attach using painter’s tape (we will supply that).
If you have been selected to present a poster and you or one of your co-authors want to present your work in this alternative venue, your poster space must be booked by completing the following survey before June 10th, 2026:
