A wonderful aspect of the Academy of Management (AOM) Annual Meeting is the developmental opportunities provided for doctoral students. For example, the New Doctoral Student Consortium helps new doctoral students begin to feel more comfortable in our field. In addition, the Organizational Behavior (OB) division sponsors a Senior Student Doctoral Consortium to help prepare more advanced doctoral students for the job market. The purpose of the “Halfway There” PDW is to bridge the gap between these consortia by providing information and advice relevant to doctoral students starting the 3rd or 4th year of their programs. “Halfway There” is designed to help students begin establishing themselves as independent scholars. We have conducted this PDW at AOM each year since 2009, and it has been very favorably received. Despite increasing the attendance cap to 120, we have still had several potential attendees waitlisted each year. Due to positive feedback from prior attendees, we have decided to conduct the PDW again in 2024 leveraging the meaningful modifications to the format. These modifications focus on providing a more holistic experience for the participants as well as showcasing a more inclusive conceptualization of the various avenues toward career success. A number of prominent OB division members have agreed to participate in the 2024 PDW and provide students with their insights on topics such as (1) crafting a research identity, (2) launching your dissertation, (3), understanding the “job market” process and (4) setting a sustainable path through the PhD journey to accomplish your career goals.
