MAKELEARN International Scientific Conference on Management of Knowledge and Learning is organised by the International School for Social and Business Studies (ISSBS) in cooperation with foreign partner universities, international institutes and organisations chosen in accordance with its annual theme. The conference takes place usually in June in different country; its participation is international. The official language of the conference is English. Through MakeLearn, the ISSBS encourages the sharing of most recent developments in the field of knowledge management between Slovene and foreign experts, as well as promotes itself and higher education in the Central and South-Eastern Europe. By including individuals from major regional businesses, MakeLearn also encourages discussion and the exchange of knowledge between the academia and the economy. Although the general theme of the conference, i.e. management of knowledge and learning in businesses and other organisations, remains the same, each year the focus of the conference is adapted to regional and global findings, occurrences and needs of the time.

TIIM Technology, Innovation and Industrial Management International Conference promotes the exchanges, discussion, and dialogues on how to manage industrial operations and organizations in more innovative, effective, and productive manners. The roles of technology as well as an integration of human capital and organizational cultures are underlined so that possible adaptations, learning, and improvement of research, practical examples, and excellent practices can be made. The sustainable development and continuous improvement as a result of technological applications and organizational innovation (i.e., products/services, and processes management) are focal point of the conference. The participants exchange new ideas, grounds, premises, and findings in the fields of engineering management and business administration. The focus of the conference is on both private firms and public agencies.
