About this event
The International Conference on AI-Driven Solutions in Management: Flexibility, Digitalisation & Decarbonization (GLOGIFT 27) is jointly organised by the Indian Institute of Management Sambalpur and the GIFT Society — Global Institute of Flexible Systems Management — at IIM Sambalpur, Odisha, from 25 to 27 February 2027. GLOGIFT 2027 is an international academic management conference in the GLOGIFT series, hosted in India in hybrid (in-person and online) mode.
The theme joins three forces reshaping management at once. Flexibility is the capacity of organisations to absorb shocks and reconfigure quickly — the founding concern of flexible systems management. Digitalisation is the movement of intelligence into the operating core of the firm, from algorithmic finance to digital twins on the factory floor. Decarbonization is the obligation now shaping investment, supply chains and public policy alike.
GLOGIFT 27 asks how artificial intelligence connects the three: whether AI-enabled management systems can make enterprises more flexible and more sustainable at the same time, rather than trading one against the other. The conference brings together academicians, researchers, practitioners, policymakers, entrepreneurs and students to examine that question across finance, operations, marketing, governance and public policy — in the context of Industry 5.0 and the Sustainable Development Goals.
