The tenth edition of Business Ethics in the 6ix will take place May 21-23, 2026 at the Ted Rogers School of Management in downtown Toronto. The workshop will feature keynotes by Lisa Herzog (University of Groningen) and Joseph Heath (University of Toronto).
To be considered for inclusion in the program, please send a fully anonymized version of your paper to
business.ethics.toronto@gmail.
The deadline for submissions is March 16, 2026. Decisions will be reached and communicated to authors no later than March 31. Submitting full papers is encouraged. Abstracts will be considered, but not on equal footing. There are no strict rules regarding length of submissions. As a rule of thumb, a good length for a BE6 paper is 6000-8000 words (excluding bibliography). An abstract should be 750-1000 words.
For accepted papers, half the sessions will be held in traditional academic conference format (30 minute presentation; 20 minute Q&A). For the other half, papers are circulated prior to the event; these papers are not presented at the event. Such sessions begin with a 10-minute commentary, followed by a 10-minute response by the author, and a 30-minute question period.
When submitting a paper, you can indicate whether you’d prefer a pre-read session or a presentation session. We will take these preferences into account when creating the program, but there are no guarantees.
