Registration Information

An AOM membership valid though 31 August 2024 is required to attend the Annual Meeting. Registration is individual and non-transferable. The Annual Meeting registration fee does not include membership, membership renewal, registration for the Teaching and Learning Conference (TLC@AOM), or registration for Professional Development Workshops that require separate enrollment or additional fees. You must first be registered for the Annual Meeting to register for the Teaching and Learning Conference (TLC@AOM) and Professional Development Workshops (PDWs). Please note that you are solely responsible for arranging travel, meals, registration, housing accommodation, and paying the associated fees for each. These fees are additional and are the responsibility of everyone attending the Annual Meeting.

Registration Payment Information

AOM accepts payments via PayPal and credit cards including American Express, Mastercard, and Visa through the online registration system only. AOM accepts checks in USD drawn on US banks. AOM will not accept payment via e-email or e-mail attachments due to PCI compliance guidelines. AOM cannot accept purchase orders, ACH, or wire transfers. While onsite at an event, AOM cannot accept checks or cash payments for registration fees. 

Registration Cancellations and Refunds

To cancel an Annual Meeting registration for any reason, the registrant must submit a cancellation request in writing to AOM at registration@aom.org. The registration fee is refundable until 16 July 2024 17:00 ET (UTC-4/GMT-4) and is subject to an $85 processing fee. When registration is cancelled, any Professional Development Workshops or social events for which the attendee has registered will also be cancelled. Registration for the Teaching and Learning Conference (TLC@AOM) is separate and will not be automatically cancelled with an Annual Meeting cancellation request.

We are unable to provide a refund for cancellation after 16 July 2024 17:00 ET (UTC-4/GMT-4) due to contractual obligations and guarantees.

Exceptions will not be made for registrants with cancelled travel arrangements or who require a visa and registered before acquiring one.

All eligible refunds will be issued in the original form of payment. If the information on the card has changed, you must contact the issuing bank with any questions.

Childcare Policy

The Academy of Management strives to support its members through professional activities at the Annual Meeting. Due to the high safety and security needs, significant cost, and limited interest, the Academy of Management does not provide on-site childcare services. If attendees bring a dependent to the Annual Meeting, the attendee is required to make on-site childcare accommodations. For local childcare options please visit our Chicago Travel page.
