The International Conference on Opportunities and Challenges in Management, Economics and Accounting – OMEACONF – is an event with a track record of excellence. The 4th edition took place on the 15th-17th of February, 2019 in Rome, Italy. We were excited to see many familiar faces as well as to welcome new attendees.

From Pakistan, to India, to Iran, to Turkey, to Israel, to Cyprus – the conference attracted attendees from all around the world. This international atmosphere allowed for a fascinating exchange of ideas and experiences. The audience engaged with the speakers and each other, identifying relevant trends in the field and brainstorming solutions to common challenges. From sharing findings of their latest research to contributing ideas to the research of their peers – everyone got a dose of inspiration.

The agenda featured such topics as institutional reforms and market structures, Islamic banking, the role of social media in tourism, buying behaviors, and dozens of others. The scientific committee of OMEACONF made sure that every presentation offered a unique angle and made a contribution to the field.

OMEACONF was not just an opportunity to learn, though. It was also a chance to explore the city of Rome, which is what most of the attendees did on a free guided tour that we organized for them. Rome is a city everyone must visit at least once in their life. Its culture, history, cuisine, architecture, and overall atmosphere are simply captivating.
