Call for Submissions

Deadline: Tuesday, 7 January 2025 at 17:00 ET (GMT-5/UTC-5)

Caucus (CAU) Submission Information 

Caucus Committee Chair: Kip Kiefer, Rollins College;  kkiefer@rollins.edu  


The Caucus Committee invites proposals for caucus sessions to be held at the 85th Annual Meeting of the Academy of Management, 25 July – 29 July 2025. Caucuses sessions will be held in-person from Sunday, 27 July 2025 through Tuesday, 29 July 2025. Caucuses encompass a wide variety of topics, and we encourage proposals that feature nascent ideas or ongoing themes that would be interesting to the AOM community. Innovative proposals that provide conference participants with opportunities to network, collaborate and develop new ideas should be submitted. 

What is a Caucus?

The premise of a caucus is primarily to provide an opportunity for scholars to innovate, share, and discuss emergent ideas that are still in the incubatory stage. Caucuses are designed to provide a convenient, informal way for AOM members with shared interests to find one another and to develop a sense of community within the larger AOM structure as well as to explore potential collaborations in a forum open to all interested AOM members. Caucus submissions are reviewed and evaluated by the Caucus Committee. 

Caucus Proposal Submission Instructions 

All Caucus submissions must be made via the AOM Submission Center. The submission deadline is Tuesday, 7 January 2025 at 17:00 ET (GMT-5/UTC-5).

Important: Caucus proposals that do not follow the guidelines may not be reviewed.

If you have any questions about Caucus submissions, please contact the Caucus Committee Chair, Kip Kiefer. We look forward to receiving interesting and innovative caucus proposals.
