    Hi everyone,

    I'm happy to inform you that we have just submitted a Caucus proposal to organize our group's meeting in Philadelphia. The proposed Caucus agenda is included in the attached file – it is only a tentative outline, and we can still agree later on what exactly we will discuss.

    By the way, during the submission process I was informed that all Caucus sessions will take place on Sunday, 2 August 2026, which is in the middle of the conference and therefore a much better day than in Copenhagen. I hope to see many of you in Philadelphia in early August 2026.

    Best wishes for the holiday season and a successful start to the New Year.

    Tomaž

    Dear members of the AOM Sport and Management Group,

    I just wanted to let you know that our Caucus proposal (attached) was unfortunately not considered relevant enough to be included in the program of this year's AOM conference.

    At this point, I am not yet sure what this means for our meeting, where we had planned to organize ourselves more formally and set out our plans for the future. The Caucus meeting would have provided us with a suitable venue and an appropriate time slot, and now we have neither. We will see how things develop over the coming weeks. I will also discuss this topic with Marko Vukosavovic (AOM CFO) in the first half of April.

    I still firmly believe that it would make sense to continue building connections at the intersection of management and sport, so I hope that you (or all of us together if I attend) will take some steps in that direction already in Philadelphia.

    Kind regards,

    Tomaž

    Dear Tomaž and all,


    I am sorry the Caucus was not accepted. I believe this should not prevent the group from gathering in space outside the conference to discuss the most pressing matters.
    Let me take this chance to inform you that luckily the PDW: "Using Sport Data to Advance Management Theory"  has instead been accepted (11th edition!) and we hope you will attend it - location, date and time will be shared in due time.

    Thanks

    Warm wishes

    Paolo
