Entrepreneurial Thinking Across Boundaries:

Reimagining Business and Academia


Join us at George Mason University’s Arlington Campus for the 64th Annual Conference and Meeting,  Arlington, VA MAY 18-21, 2027 as we explore what it means to think entrepreneurially in both academia and business! Together, we will challenge conventional notions of effectiveness, reimagine how ideas become impact, and consider how creativity, adaptability, and bold thinking can shape the future of our institutions and organizations. This conference invites a community of scholars, educators and practitioners to push boundaries, spark innovation, and discover new ways of creating value in a rapidly changing world.

A Message from the President

This year, the Eastern Academy of Management’s goal is presence. We aim to show up for our members, support our doctoral students, and connect with potential new members. EAM strives to be a community 

where people feel supported, connected, and involved. Our presence should be felt not only through what we do, but also through the relationships we build and the ways we support one another in academia.

Thank you for being part of the EAM community, where Scholarship and Collegiality Meet!

Warm regards,

R. Gabrielle "Gabby" Swab, PhD, PMP  

President, Eastern Academy of Management

Associate Professor, Department of Management

Faculty Fellow for the Parker Business Scholars

Past 2026 Domestic Conference

Conference Theme

Societal Impact: Strengthening Communities and Economies Through Management

In an era of increasing global uncertainty and complexity, regional economies can be the engines of innovation, job creation, and social progress. While globalization connects us, it is at the regional level where businesses start, communities thrive, and policies take shape. Higher Education, especially business and management education, is critical in shaping regional prosperity. Business schools are a catalyst for economic development, workforce transformation, and social mobility. However, as higher education faces increasing scrutiny, we must more clearly articulate, examine, and expand our impact on the regions we serve.

The 2026 Eastern Academy of Management (EAM) Conference calls on scholars, educators, and practitioners to explore how management research, teaching, and practice contribute to economic vitality and community resilience.

How do business schools and management faculty drive workforce development, industry innovation, and social good within their regions? How do we balance global perspectives with local needs? And how can we strengthen the link between academia and regional communities to foster meaningful change?
