Conference participants have new opportunities to engage directly with prominent and experienced scholars during the 2018 Conference! The Program Committee is introducing a new initiative of Coffee and Conversation featuring IACMR Past President Fellows, MOR editors and IACMR Executive Committee members who will share their experience in research or their views on particular topics with conference participants, especially doctoral students and young faculty. The program committee has scheduled meetings at 7:00-7:40 am on the mornings of June 14 – June 16 for young scholars to benefit from experienced scholars.

Coffee and Conversation are informal, roundtable discussions – over coffee/tea and a light breakfast – that take place before the start of the regular sessions on June 14 to June 16. The leader of each Coffee and Conversation engages in a conversation with a group of IACMR conference participants on a theme selected by the leader. It can be a current issue of interest to the leader, a particular phenomenon that is not adequately understood or an existing discourse relating to indigenous management scholarship, etc. Please refer to the schedule bellow for detailed topics offered by each meeting leader.

The opportunity to participate is made more precious as each group is limited to 8 -15 seats depending on the venue capacity. The rule of ‘first come first served’ is applied during the registration process at the time of online enrollment. Due to limited seats, each applicant is eligible to enroll for three sessions in maximum, but only one session will be allocated if the applicant is listed within the available capacity. Once each Coffee and Conversation is fully booked, the name lists of those who have successfully enrolled will be released on the conference website and communicated to the specific participants.
