This Professional Development Workshop (PDW) is a forward-looking event that aims to nurture emerging topics in Strategizing Activities and Practices (SAP) scholarship and incubate nascent research projects of SAP scholars, including PhD students, early-career and senior scholars. This PDW provides an open space for discussing nascent topics, dilemmas, development and research as well as teaching ideas, which fall mostly outside the scope of other parts of the conference program. PDW follows a Bar Camp format, where participants set the topics for three series of open round-table discussions. Overall, Unconferencing SAP and Beyond aims for participants to jointly make sense of topical opportunities and challenges for SAP research, to facilitate the onboarding of junior scholars in the community, and to spur new connections and collaborations between participants. Furthermore, the PDW is an innovative format for the AOM meeting, as it allows for nurturing new ideas, topics, and themes on the Division/Interest Group level through serendipity and ‘structured structurelessness’.

This session is open to everyone and doesn't require additional registration. Please note that due to limited space, we can only accommodate up to 50 people. Attendance will be on a first-come-first-serve basis. If you would like to suggest a topic for an open round-table discussion or discuss some nascent project, please, register your idea via this form - https://forms.gle/vUvbXU8B4Qr8ZU3L6
