- Registration and Submission Deadline: July 20, 2026
- Register at: https://forms.gle/WdSV75ve43D9SxdHA
- Scheduling info: July 31, 2026, 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM ET, at Convention Center, Room 124
Please join our cutting-edge PDW on Open-Source Software (OSS), which will be held at the 2026 Academy of Management Annual Meeting in Philadelphia, USA.
This PDW aims to foster a community-level dialogue about the ways in which OSS is challenging the boundary conditions and relevance of existing strategic management theories. By doing so, it seeks to encourage management scholars to critically evaluate and, where needed, innovate upon current theoretical frameworks to better align with the complex socio-technical arrangements of OSS.
It is not mandatory to submit your work to attend the first two parts of the PDW (keynote speech and panelist presentations). Regardless of your type of participation, please register your attendance at this Google Form [link]. The registration and submission deadline is July 20, 2026, at 23:59 EDT.
Participants who wish to join the third part of the PDW are required to submit an extended abstract of no more than two pages, excluding references and any charts, graphs, diagrams, etc. Submissions should be double-spaced and use a font size of at least 12 points. Please include the title, authors' names, and institutional affiliations in the document. Accepted file formats are .docx and .pdf.
Due to time constraints, we can accept only a limited number of submissions for the roundtable discussions. We will therefore select submissions based on their quality and fit with the PDW. We will notify applicants of our decisions by July 24. Please note that, as with all AOM program activities, submitting a proposal implies a commitment to attend and participate in the roundtable discussions if accepted.
In case of any questions, please do not hesitate to email us at:

We look forward to seeing you in person at the PDW!
