‘A global conference that transcends disciplines like no other’
The Knowledge, Innovation & Enterprise (KIE) Conference emerged from a pioneering international event on innovation and entrepreneurship, which has shaped global conversations for over 25 years. What sets KIE apart is its core belief: that knowledge and creativity are the true catalysts of innovation.
As a proud member of the World Education Fellowship, the world’s oldest international educational science learned society, the KIE Conference has established itself as a globally recognized forum—bringing together practitioners, researchers, and experts from diverse fields to explore the evolving intersections of creativity, entrepreneurship, and knowledge transfer.
Why KIE? What Makes It Different?
While numerous conferences focus on innovation and entrepreneurship, none provide a truly fertile, interdisciplinary space for thought leaders to cross-fertilize ideas, challenge assumptions, and shape the future. The KIE Conference fills this gap—breaking silos and fostering boundary-pushing collaborations.
The KIE Experience: More Than a Conference, A Movement
At KIE, it’s not just about listening—it’s about engaging, contributing, and making an impact. In addition to cutting-edge research presentations, KIE features eight flagship in-filled events, including:
E. Paul Torrance International Roundtable on Creative Thinking
Reisman Diagnostic Creativity Assessment (RDCA) Special Interest Group
World Education Fellowship Annual Centenary Lecture
Global Comparative & International Education Forum Roundtable
Kaufman Family Research Symposium
Research Student Workshop & Writing Clinic
PUSH for Success & Motivation in Business
Big Data Analytics & Digital Enterprise Symposium
Each session is designed to challenge perspectives, spark collaboration, and drive real-world change.
