2025 Spring Servitization Conference and Doctoral Symposium
May 12 - May 14

The University of Liverpool Management School is thrilled to host the 2025 Spring Servitization Conference (SSC2025), the biggest and longest-running research conference on servitization established in 2010.
With the overall theme, ‘Evidencing Productivity and Sustainability through Servitization: The Role of Suppliers, Intermediaries, Customers and Competitors‘, SSC2025 will bring together the world’s leading researchers, practitioners and doctoral students to debate and engage with the theory and practice of servitization.
SSC2025 will comprise the Servitization Doctoral Symposium (Monday 12th May) and the main Spring Servitization Conference (Tues 13th and Weds 14th May 2025).
On Monday 12th May, we will host our doctoral symposium for PhD students whose research focuses on topics related to servitization (including Product-Service Systems, services-centric business models, and service-dominant logic, etc.).
On Tuesday 13th and Wednesday 14th May, we will follow the established format of a single stream where contributors have an opportunity to present to the whole conference audience and engage in both structured and semi-structured panel sessions to discuss their work. The programme is designed to encourage extensive debate and bridge research theory and industrial practice. The conference will also feature keynotes from senior executives from leading manufacturing businesses. We will also dedicate some sessions to the early stage research which comprise interactive keynotes by leading academics in the field, debates around emergent research themes, and poster reviews of proposed projects and doctoral research. A certificate of attendance will be provided on request after the conference by email to the conference organising team.
