Professional development workshops

Discover the professional development workshops University of Liverpool Management School researchers will take part on during AOM 2025.

Professional development workshops (PDW) include a wide variety of session formats and learning experiences led by experts in the topic with intended takeaways for participants, including PhD students and early career researchers.

PDWs consist of interactive sessions organised by AOM's Division and Interest Groups and Affiliates, that can take several forms, such as:

• Tutorials
• Town hall meetings
• Breakout sessions
• Debates
• Roundtables
• Tours
• Research incubators
• Etc

All PDWs contain a clear interactive component. Proposals will be evaluated on their ability to draw an audience from the specific discipline or across AOM, as well as its innovativeness and potential impact on the professional success of participants.

PDW's will be held in-person from Friday through Sunday.
