83rd Annual Meeting
Many organizations and the world’s social structures have been vastly challenged, and, in some cases, devastated by the COVID-19 global pandemic. Since facing these global challenges, in 2023, the Academy of Management offered its first full in-person conference. With its rich history, diverse neighborhoods, and legacy of arts, culture, and education, Boston had something for all our members. With 7 hotels spread throughout the Boston area, we welcomed more than 10,000 in-person attendees, representing more than 80 countries, from 4 August - 8 August for the 83rd Annual Meeting of the Academy of Management.
Created with four guiding principles in mind – 1) service to members; 2) participation and interaction; 3) access to content; and 4) organizational sustainability - the Academy pushed the boundaries of what the Annual Meeting could achieve by hosting conventions throughout the Greater Boston Area. Members met on site in Boston and shared research in new and exciting ways.
