Summary:

This book constitutes the proceedings of the BPM 2024 Blockchain/RPA/CEE/Educators/Industry Forum held at the 22nd International Conference on Business Process Management, BPM 2024, which took place in Krakow, Poland, in September 2024. The Blockchain Forum provided a platform for exploring and discussing innovative ideas on the intersection of BPM and blockchain technology. The CEE Forum deals with BPM research in Central and Eastern European countries, emphasizing the specific challenges due to cultural, political, regional, or organizational differences. The RPA Forum focused on the use of the Robotic Process Automation (RPA) in the field of Business Process Management. The Educators Forum brought together educators within the BPM community for sharing resources to improve the practice of teaching BPM-related topics. The Industry Forum served as a platform connecting academia and industry professionals to exchange real-world experiences and insights on leveraging Business Process Management. The total of 35 papers included in this book was carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 69 papers submitted to these forums. .
