Call for Proposals: AOM Webinars/Virtual Conferences
NEXT REVIEW DEADLINE: July 28, 2017
The Academy of
Management aims to develop high-quality video-based meetings that are
interactive, relevant and accessible to the Academy’s research and teaching communities
worldwide. In support of the AOM Specialized Conferences Initiative, we are seeking members of our professional community who
are willing to co-create new webinars and virtual
meeting opportunities. As part of this initial
exploration, we are seeking ideas for broad themes with cross-disciplinary appeal
and unique content that is suitable for online delivery and interactivity. Some potential examples include “academic
job market tips” "teaching strategies for the virtual classroom" and
“qualitative research approaches.”
Web-based meetings
will be hosted by the Academy of Management and delivered through a formal
webinar development platform. Training and support for the development of
these interactive online events will be available for content leaders and
meeting organizers. Previous experience leading web-based meetings is not a
requirement.
Members are invited
to express their vision for a Virtual, Web-Based, Academy of Management event
in 2017. AOM welcomes ideas for innovative, interesting and engaging content
ideas from across our Divisions, Interest Groups, Committees, and other
leadership communities.

·
