Dear Colleagues,
We look forward to seeing you in Copenhagen in July! We are very excited to receive your submissions for the Organization Development and Change program so please check out the Calls for Submissions for both the Scholarly Program and for Professional Development Workshops (PDWs).
Our values as a division suggest the critical importance of how change happens. Change carried out through inclusive relational processes - with input from multiple stakeholders at multiple levels of action - can be critical for building thriving organizations and communities. At this year’s meeting hosted in the heart of Scandinavia – where multi-stakeholder relationships are often used strategically to achieve sustainable outcomes – our focus on how change happens will be particularly relevant.

The Calls provide further information and links to guidelines for each type of submission.
The PDWs will run from Friday 25th July through Sunday 27th July 2025 and the Scholarly Program will run on Monday 28th and Tuesday 29th July. Note that this year the Scholarly Program includes Poster sessions, as well as the traditional Papers, Symposia and Caucuses.
The submission deadline is Tuesday, 7 January 2025 at 17:00 ET (GMT-5/UTC-5), but earlier submissions are strongly encouraged. Before writing your submission, we also encourage you to review the ODC Division domain and mission statements. Note that the AOM Submissions Center will open early December.
We also encourage you to sign up for our online ODC Submissions Workshop on 12th December, 11:30 am - 12:30 pm EST (US) where you can hear from the Program Chairs. Click here to register for the ODC Submissions Workshop.
