About the Conference

The 2nd International Conference on Emerging Technologies and Sustainable Business Practices (ICETSBP-24) aims to bring together researchers, academicians, industry experts, and practitioners from around the globe to explore and discuss the latest advancements in emerging technologies and their impact on sustainable business practices particularly in the sectors of Management, Economics, Information Technology, Tourism, Banking, Insurance, Artificial Intelligence, Renewable Energy, Environmental Science, and other related fields. This conference serves as a platform for the exchange of ideas, collaboration, and the dissemination of cutting-edge research. In recent years, the pivotal role of digital transformation in business practices' creation, success, and sustainability has gained recognition. The complex business landscape, particularly challenging for small enterprises amid global market dynamics, rapid technological changes, and competitive pressures, has led many businesses to form networks to overcome inherent limitations. Digital networks, an underutilized resource, emerge as a strategic choice for addressing complex issues at domestic, interstate, and international levels. The upcoming conference provides a significant platform for global scholars to collaborate and tackle societal challenges through the lens of digital transformation and strategic network solutions.
