About the City of Bath and the University ​

The city of Bath, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is renowned for its rich cultural heritage, architectural splendour and historical significance. Famous for its Roman Baths and elegant Georgian architecture, the city has long been a centre of learning, creativity and innovation.

​

Bath’s compact size, vibrant arts scene and literary legacy – associated with figures such as Jane Austen – make it a place where culture, history and contemporary life intersect seamlessly. Beyond its heritage, Bath is also a forward-looking city, known for its commitment to sustainability, design and innovation, offering an inspiring environment for dialogue, reflection and collaboration.

This blend of history and innovation mirrors the conference theme of responsibly navigating a turbulent business world by reminding us that resilience and reinvention are rooted in a deep sense of place and purpose.

​

The University of Bath School of Management is one of the UK’s leading business schools with an international impact. Our research and teaching are rooted in addressing global challenges while remaining deeply connected to our local community and heritage. Together they directly address the challenges facing organisations today. From rethinking business models for environmental and social sustainability to exploring ethical implications of technology and globalisation, our work equips future leaders to manage complexity with responsibility and integrity.

​

The School’s partnerships with local and international businesses, social enterprises and policy institutions provide a living laboratory for understanding how organisations can thrive while contributing positively to society. We work closely with government, policymakers, civil society and industry leaders to generate impactful research that drives positive change and informs responsible business practice.

​

The University is located on the Claverton Down campus, just one mile from the historic city centre.

​

Delegates will enjoy a welcoming and sustainable conference experience supported by the University’s Hospitality Team, offering vegan and halal catering options while minimising environmental impact.

​

The compact, walkable city, excellent public transport and scenic countryside surroundings make Bath not only accessible but also an inspiring setting for dialogue, collaboration and reflection on the future of responsible management education.
