Conference Overview
The 9th Annual Berkeley Haas Culture Connect Conference will be held on the Berkeley Haas Campus January 12-13, 2027.
Bringing together almost 200 industry leaders and academic experts, we’ll explore emerging research on new learnings and the potential impact on a company’s culture, ability to innovate, and its path to growth, plus hear from corporate leaders and preeminent academic scholars.
On January 13, presentations and fireside chats with corporate executives and leading academic scholars will explore critical issues in today’s corporate environment. The day provides opportunities for collaborative discussions amongst attendees, and promises deep engagement, learning, and growth through the exchange of new ideas.
January 12, our academic day, spotlights nascent academic research, bringing together students and academics to present their abstracts for feedback and discussion. Highlighting the day are four keynote addresses from faculty across disciplines, including computer science, economics, social psychology, and sociology, featuring the ways culture is impacted by a variety of factors.
More details and registration information will be coming soon.

Edgar Schein Best Student Paper Award
The Edgar Schein Best Student Paper Award encourages the next generation of scholars to explore work that builds connections across disciplines, is theoretically rich, and empirically rigorous. We typically receive between 80-100 abstracts for conference presentation, and identify the student-written papers for award eligibility. The abstracts are rigorously reviewed by our academic board who then nominate papers for the award.
