The 26th McMaster World Congress is jointly sponsored by the Management of
Innovation and New Technology (MINT) Research Centre, the McMaster
E-Commerce Research Centre (MERC), and the Directors College at McMaster
University (widely recognized as Canada's most innovative university!).
This event will be held January 19-21, 2005 in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.
It is widely recognized as the largest conference of its kind in the world.
This is the 8th World Congress to focus on intellectual capital and
innovation. The event is recognized globally as the largest and most
prestigious conference of its kind. It brings both academic researchers and
professional practitioners together to present, discuss and review the
latest issues and trends in the areas of:
� intellectual capital � innovation � knowledge management � new technology
� intangible assets � human capital
� organizational learning � knowledge-based view / theory
Last year's conference attracted over 600 attendees from 35 countries. The
event was covered by numerous newspapers, TV and magazine media outlets from
over 10 countries.
The first seven congresses in 1996, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2002, 2003 and 2004
have attracted over 3,000 delegates (practitioners, academics and students)
from over 40 countries. This year we are planning an even better event
which will includes a CKO forum, KM technology expo, a PhD recruiting fair,
and a knowledge caf�.

Student Paper Award. This prize ($2,000) will be awarded to the outstanding
