    Dear Colleagues:

    You are cordially invited to attend the 2013 meeting of the Eastern Academy
    of Management at the Sheraton Inner Harbor Hotel in Baltimore, Maryland, May
    8-11, 2013.

    This is a special year for EAM as we celebrate our 50th anniversary. We will
    feature special sessions and events to commemorate 50 years of scholarship
    and collegiality. Our beautiful conference venue in Baltimore’s Inner Harbor
    offers a variety of dining and recreational activities to add to your
    experience.

    Our conference theme this year, “Creativity and Innovation: Designs for the
    Future,” focuses on the need for organizations to respond in new and
    different ways to dynamic market forces. Amidst rapidly changing technology
    and a culture that craves exciting products and services, organizations are
    compelled to innovate to remain competitive. Our conference theme explores
    best practices in innovation and creativity among managers and educators
    with panel discussions, symposia, traditional sessions and some unique and
    indeed, creative presentations. EAM 2013 includes a wide selection of
    professional development workshops, some focused specifically on creativity
    and innovation and others covering topics including project management,
    followership and course design. We are also offering three open-enrollment
    Consortia focused on career issues of doctoral students, junior faculty, and
    mid-career/senior faculty. Information about the Consortia can be found at
    https://eamconference.org/consortia.asp

    Finally, we are excited to invite you to attend our Welcome Dinner that will
    be held at “Mr. Rain’s Fun House” located atop the American Visionary Art
    Museum. This unique restaurant offers contemporary American cuisine in a
    beautiful and relaxing setting, perfect for pre-conference mingling. As
    always, pre-payment is required for this event; please see the conference
    registration page.

    We are putting the final touches on the full program schedule and will have
    it posted next week.
