NEW AOM INITIATIVE Specialized Conferences
The AOM Specialized Conferences Initiative features a portfolio of smaller, meaningful and sustainable new meeting opportunities that complement our historic Annual Meeting. Several new conference models will allow members and participants to connect and engage throughout the year, virtually and in varied locations, that are reflective of the geographic dispersion of our international membership. Our first Thematic conference, Big Data and Managing in a Digital Economy, will be held from April 18-20 2018, at the University of Surrey, UK; and the Thematic conference From Start-up to Scale-up Strategies: Coping in a Volatile Business Environment, will be held from December 17-19 2018, in Tel Aviv Israel. In addition to these conferences, new ideas that reflect the creative energy of our membership are expected to emerge, as the Academy experiments with new program structures, delivery modes, content features, and conference designs.

The conference provides a unique opportunity for identifying key challenges, discussing implications, and developing suitable strategies.
