Recently, the world has entered a new era of boundless competition. Not to be outdone, Asia has gained greater significance in the world economy with its emerging economic prosperity and vivacity. Against this backdrop, the Design Management Institute, the Institute for Industrial Policy Studies—Brand Management Institute, and the Design and Brand Management Society are joining hands together to host an international conference in Seoul dedicated to promoting the importance of integrating brand and design management. This occasion holds significance as three different organizations from different nations are joining forces to promote a single mission of raising awareness about the productive synergy that arises when brand and design integrate with corporate management. The Conference on Innovation by Brand and Design Management will be a forum for exchanges of ideas and best practices among participants from around the world, and the conference proceedings and results will help participants better understand ways to integrate brand and design for better management.

A broad and impressive range of abstracts has been received by the conference Scientific Committee in response to the call for papers. The abstracts cover topics such as branding, design management, innovation, product design, and green design. Based on this strong response, the conference promises to be a seminal forum for the exchange of ideas and best practices from around the world. Registration for the conference is now open to all interested individuals from academia, business, and public and government agencies.
