Held from 8 to 10 September 2025 under the theme 'Bridging Minds, Reimagining the Future,' the inaugural conflux was organised by the Faculty of Business and Law (FBL) to bring together distinguished scholars, industry experts, policymakers, and practitioners from across the world.

Through its multidisciplinary approach, the event showcased Taylor’s commitment to fostering impactful dialogue at the intersection of business, law, and sustainability, reaffirming the university’s role as a catalyst for innovation and knowledge exchange on a global scale.

Exploring the Vision Behind INSIGHT360

The INSIGHT360 Conflux was conceived with a clear purpose: to unite thought leaders across fields such as economics, marketing, management, accounting, finance, and law in a shared mission to explore sustainable solutions to global challenges. Beyond being a conference, INSIGHT360 served as a platform for generating ideas that transcend disciplines, aligning with Taylor’s long-term vision of driving social and economic transformation through education and research.

Through panel discussions, keynote addresses, and thematic presentations, participants engaged in in-depth explorations of issues shaping the world today — from green business practices and innovative management to digital work, financial sustainability, and governance. As a result, INSIGHT360 has positioned the Faculty of Business and Law as a regional and global leader in academic-industry collaboration.

Highlights and Key Achievements

This year’s conflux recorded 175 abstract submissions, with 139 accepted for presentation, underscoring the event’s academic rigour and wide appeal. Contributions poured in from six countries — Malaysia, the United States, the United Kingdom, Vietnam, India, and Pakistan — representing 24 universities and research institutions.

INSIGHT360 also featured 15 keynote speakers, 21 thematic tracks, and six co-located conferences exploring diverse perspectives in business, law, and sustainable development. Participants competed for 22 Best Paper Awards, while selected full papers received publication opportunities across seven Scopus/WoS-indexed journals, two MyCITE journals, and two edited books.

Such accomplishments not only reflect the intellectual depth of the event but also affirm Taylor’s growing influence within the global research community.

Key Sessions and Activities

A major highlight of INSIGHT360 2025 was the Meet-the-Editors Session, featuring three distinguished editors-in-chief: Professor Ramayah Thurasamy (Universiti Sains Malaysia), Professor Sachin Kumar Mangla (O.P. Jindal Global University), and Professor Michael Mustafa (University of Nottingham Malaysia). The session offered participants valuable insights into publishing in high-impact journals and advancing scholarly impact.

The Pre-Conference Workshops also drew strong participation, equipping attendees with practical research tools. Topics included Qualitative Analysis using Framework Mapping, Thematic Analysis, and NVivo led by Professor Ts. Dr. Magiswary Dorasamy, and Data Analysis with PLS-SEM using SmartPLS 4.0 conducted by Professor Dr Poon Wai Ching and Dr Md Uzir Hossain.

Complementing these sessions was the PhD Colloquium, which provided aspiring researchers with the opportunity to present their work and receive feedback from experienced academics, embodying the conflux’s commitment to nurturing future scholars.

Co-Located Conferences and Global Collaboration

INSIGHT360’s collaborative strength was reflected in its six co-located conferences, each addressing distinct yet interlinked domains:

Their participation underscored the event’s international outlook and collaborative ethos.
