Dear OB members,
ComplianceNet 2025, with the theme “Evolving Compliance,” will be hosted by Fordham University School of Law in New York City and will take place May 28, 29, and 30, 2025. We are currently accepting panel or paper submissions, with a deadline of December 20, 2024.
At each conference, we have awarded prizes for the best junior and senior scholar papers, as well as a Lifetime Achievement award. Previous winners are featured on our website here. New this year we will have a panel and poster session dedicated to graduate students. There will also be awards this year for the best graduate student contributions.
We warmly invite junior scholars, senior scholars, and graduate students to apply for the conference generally and for appropriate best paper awards. Scholars must be present to receive their awards.
ComplianceNet and the 2025 Conference
ComplianceNet seeks to bring together scholars from a range of different disciplines to study the interaction between rules (broadly defined) and individual, group, or organizational behavior. The first six meetings have been highly successful, bringing together academics from business, criminology, economics, law, political science, psychology and sociology, among other fields. See ComplianceNet.org for more details about the organization’s structure and goals.
The 2025 registration fee is set at $198.00. The registration fee will cover a light breakfast, tea and coffee, boxed lunches and two receptions during the conference. The conference organizers will not provide or organize housing and accommodation, but we will provide some general information by email to registered participants.

Registration is not complete, and submissions will not be considered for awards, without completing the payment link.
Registration Categories
Attendees can submit either individual papers or complete panel proposals, as well as individual roundtable discussion topics. There is also the option of attending the event without giving a presentation. The program committee will review abstracts and select papers, panels, and roundtables that specifically discuss theoretical and/or empirical aspects about compliance, as defined as the interaction between rules (broadly defined) and individual, group, or organizational behavior
Full papers (beyond abstracts) can be submitted for awards at a later date after registration by following the instructions for awards in the attached document.
We have the following options for conference registration:
- Individual papers. Please select “Single Paper Registration” option and submit the paper title and abstract (up to about 200 words).
- Panels (3 papers minimum with a maximum of 5 per panel). Please select the “Panel Registration” option and you will be asked to submit an integrative statement explaining the panel (approximately 200 words), the titles of each paper and their authors, and an abstract for each paper (approximately 200 words). Each panel organizer must arrange that panelists (other than the panel submitter) register their papers individually once the panel has been approved (using the “Papers within panel proposal” option). If panel members fail to register their papers and confirm attendance, the conference organizers may place other, thematically- related, papers into the panel to ensure that each panel has more than one presentation.
- Papers within a Panel. Please select the “Papers within a panel” option and submit the paper title and abstract (up to about 200 words).
- Roundtable Discussion. Please select, “Roundtable Discussion Registration” and provide the title, integrative statement and abstract.
- Roundtable Panel Member. Please select, “Roundtable Panel Member” and indicate the title of the panel that you would like to join.
- If you would like to attend, but do not want to present a paper or a panel, please choose the “Attendance Without Presenting” option.
Again, the links to register are here and here. We hope to see you in New York City soon.
Best regards,
ComplianceNet 2025
