    Fellow entrep scholars -- what sorts of devious, delightful and disruptive ideas could we develop to take advantage of this? Note the incentives to partner with others...  Your Global Scholar Development Committee wants to know! :)

    Dear Norris:

    In response to member appeals for additional professional development and scholarly exchange opportunities, I am pleased to announce the formal launch of our AOM Small Conferences Initiative!  

    Our goal is simple...to provide a portfolio of conference offerings that allows members to connect and engage throughout the year, virtually and face to face, in varied locations that are reflective of the geographic dispersion of our international membership.

    To reach this goal we invite you to propose an AOM face-to face or virtual conference (webinar).

    To help you imagine your proposal we've identified several new conference models that fulfill our mission to connect people and ideas while also advancing our vision to inspire and enable a better world through our scholarship and teaching on management and organizations. They are: 
    face-to-face conference models including:

    • AOM Special Thematic Conferences
    • AOM Professional Development Conferences
    • AOM Regional Immersion Conferences

    Learn more at: Call for Proposals: AOM Special Conferences

    and, web-based meetings.

    Learn more at: Call for Proposals: AOM Webinars/Virtual Conferences

    In addition to these proposed models, we expect other new conference ideas that reflect the creative energy of our membership to emerge.

    Join us in the kick off of this exciting new initiative! 

    The Academy of Management's Conferences Committee is currently inviting brief statements of interest forms from local organizing committees and their host institutions for AOM Special Conferences to be held in 2017 or 2018. Innovative concepts for an AOM Webinars/Virtual Conferences to start in in 2016 are also invited.  

    Brief statements of interest will be accepted on a rolling basis throughout the rest of the year and into 2016. All submissions received prior to December 3, 2015 will be reviewed at the Board Meeting in December. The committee will continue its review in the new year. The ideas that generate the most interest will advance to a second stage of development. The committee will then collaboratively work with these finalists to more fully develop final proposals.

    To learn more about the process for submitting your idea for AOM Special Conferences or Webinars/Virtual Conferences, please review the Calls for Special Conferences and Web-Based Meetings or contact the AOM Conferences Committee at aomcc@aom.org. 

    We look forward to your participation as a conference organizer!

    Sincerely,


    Debra L. Shapiro
    President, Academy of Management
