Are you thinking about submitting a PDW proposal to the
HCM division for AoM 2026 in Philadelphia?
Can you believe that it has already been 10 weeks since AoM 2025 in Copenhagen? Luckily that also means that we are 10 weeks closer to AoM 2026 in Philadelphia! Perhaps you are already thinking about submitting a PDW proposal to the HCM Division for the 2026 Meeting? We hope that you are! We welcome variety and creativity in our PDW sessions.
If you are thinking about submitting a PDW proposal, please send the following information to me (d.westra@maastrichtuniversity.nl) by November 8th, if possible, so I can help address any duplication with other submissions and am better informed when replying to AoM as they plan for Philadelphia.
