AOM Press Releases
Registration opens for AOM's first virtual Annual Meeting
For the first time, AOM’s Annual Meeting will be virtual! This year’s
meeting offers unique opportunities to expand research, network with colleagues, and disseminate knowledge addressing the 21st century’s most pressing challenges related to management and organizations. This year’s virtual meeting
provides the utmost flexibility for members to connect in ways never before possible, explore ideas, and actively learn in a new, online environment.
Join us as AOM expands knowledge and research while addressing the 21st century’s most pressing challenges, such as conflict, discrimination, corruption, well-being, economic opportunity and equality, and climate change, at the 80th Annual Meeting of the Academy of Management. The event theme, 20/20: Broadening Our Sight, challenges us to see things more clearly and to break down dichotomies-- broadening the way we see management and organizations and our own profession.
