Advancing Connection, Collaboration, and Community Across Our Global Network

The Academy of Management is a global scholarly community. Our members bring diverse perspectives shaped by different regions, institutions, disciplinary backgrounds, and career stages. This diversity strengthens our ability to build a vibrant and supportive community of scholars and to expand opportunities for connection, learning, and the exchange of ideas.

Guided by Vision 2030, AOM continues to strengthen access and engagement across its worldwide membership through a broad range of programs, events, and communities.

As part of AOM’s year-round engagement, the Annual Meeting remains an important venue for the exchange of research and ideas. Following our gathering in Copenhagen in 2025, we are now preparing for the upcoming meeting in Philadelphia. We are grateful to the many members who submitted their work, those currently serving as reviewers, and the volunteers who contribute their time and expertise throughout the program development process.

We also recognize that the current global environment presents real challenges for many scholars. Travel constraints, institutional policies, funding shifts, and broader geopolitical pressures may affect how and where members are able to engage, and some areas of scholarship are navigating increased uncertainty. These realities shape participation in different ways, and they are very much on our minds as we plan and support AOM activities.

In response, AOM is focused on providing pathways for engagement and practical support for members. This includes resources for those planning to attend the Annual Meeting in person, as well as an On-Demand presentation option that allows presenters unable to attend to share their work as part of the program. Beyond the Annual Meeting, AOM supports year-round engagement through webinars, workshops, conferences, and activities organized by Divisions, Interest Groups, journals, and other AOM communities. Through efforts such as the Community Accelerator Program, AOM is also expanding access through institutional engagement in regions that have had more limited connections to global scholarly networks.

As part of this ongoing work, AOM continues to broaden the geographic footprint of the Annual Meeting through a purposeful rotation, with meetings planned in Toronto, London, Seattle, and Amsterdam, and with additional global locations under consideration. Alongside this evolution, AOM will be investing in more in-person programming around the world, as well as a range of online activities, to support engagement across regions and modes of participation.

Additional information related to meetings, participation, and year-round engagement is available through the Member Resources and Support links below.

AOM’s commitment to its members around the world is reflected not in any single event or location, but in sustained engagement and continued efforts to support our scholarly community.

Thank you for being part of the Academy and for the many ways you contribute.
