2020 Professional Development Workshops: Call for Proposals

The Operations and Supply Chain Management (OSCM) Division invites you to submit creative and innovative proposals for pre-conference Professional Development Workshops (PDWs) for the 2020 Academy of Management Annual Meeting in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. PDWs will take place on Friday, 7 August and Saturday, 8 August 2020.

The OSCM Division encourages PDWs that build knowledge and share expertise oriented towards emerging research themes and methods as well as management practice in the OSCM area. PDW sessions are also intended for professional development of the participants, so sessions around research and teaching development are called for. PDWs can take different formats, such as workshops, tutorials, debates, roundtable discussions, panel discussions, facility tours, etc. 

We highly encourage PDW proposals that link to other divisions/interest groups with joint sponsorship as well as ones that reflect the conference theme – 20/20: Broadening our Sight. Workshops and panels with journal editorial board members as well as off-site PDWs such as facility tours are encouraged. Preference will be given to proposals that are of relevance to the Division’s membership and represent innovative, inclusive, interactive, and developmental ideas. (Note: Traditional presentations of research papers should be submitted to the Scholarly Program portion of the Annual Meeting).

Proposals must be submitted online via the AOM Submission Center. Please submit all proposals along with any joint-division “sponsorship” suggestions using this website. The General Submission Guidelines are available on the 2020 Annual Meeting page. Deadline for Submissions: Tuesday, 14 January 2020 at 5:00 PM ET (NY Time). If you have any questions or suggestions or would like feedback on your ideas for a PDW event, please do not hesitate to contact Stephanie Eckerd (seckerd@iu.edu).
