About EAM
A regional affiliate of the Academy of Management, the EAM holds its annual meeting and conference each May at locations in eastern North America. Competitive papers, symposia, and panels emphasize the pursuit of excellence in teaching and scholarly research in the field of management.
In 1985, the EAM initiated a series of biennial international conferences. Jointly sponsored by EAM and local universities in international locations, the EAM-I Conferences have become a source of collaboration and learning among academics and practitioners since their inception. The first EAM-I conference was held in Tilburg in the Netherlands in association with Tilburg University. Since then conferences have been held in locations around the world, including Berlin, Singapore, Cape Town, and most recently Amsterdam. Please visit the EAM Homepage at www.eaom.org for details about EAM and its local and international conferences.
