Summary
The MOC-DOCS (Management and Organizational Cognition Development and Outreach for Conference Success) Social event aims at becoming a central and welcoming initiative within the Academy of Management meetings, specifically tailored to newcomers seeking guidance and connection within the complex conference environment. This event serves as a friendly and inclusive space where attendees, particularly those new to the Academy of Management, can navigate the complexities of the conference with ease. Designed to foster a sense of community, MOC-DOCS provides a platform for individuals to find a supportive "conference buddy," facilitating meaningful connections and easing the initial challenges of navigating the conference landscape and networking opportunities. Moreover, the event offers newcomers the opportunity to be introduced to more senior MOC members, providing valuable mentorship and fostering a sense of belonging within the division. Beyond social connections, MOC-DOCS serves as a gateway for attendees to discover and to get involved with the MOC division, encouraging active participation and contribution to the vibrant scholarly community. In essence, MOC-DOCS embodies the spirit of inclusivity, mentorship, and community building, making the Academy of Management experience more accessible and enriching for all.
