Networking with Academy of Management

Academy of Management (AOM) allows you to connect with professionals through our collection of academic networks and communities. As a global organization, you can interact with colleagues and others interested in the field of management from around the world. Through networking at AOM meetings, you will broaden your reach by joining a community of fellow executives and academics. Additionally, you will gain resources that will assist you in publishing and presenting your own research.

AOM’s global network is unique, for it connects you with fellow students, academics, executives, and those interested in the field of management. Through networking, you have the opportunity to discuss topics and theories, learn about management practices, meet potential colleagues, and share your research.

Membership includes significant privileges. As an AOM member, your networking opportunities multiply. As a member, you can join two or more of our Division and Interest Groups (DIGs) to connect with those who are interested in similar intellectual disciplines. You can also attend our Annual Meeting, the largest gathering of management and organizational scholars in the world.
