Twittering the Academy of Management meeting

I’m not in Chicago for the 2009 annual meet­ing of the Acad­emy of Man­age­ment this week­end. I’d love to attend, but I’m grad­ing papers for the two grad­u­ate sem­i­nars I’ve been teach­ing this sum­mer here in Honolulu.

This year’s con­fer­ence theme is green man­age­ment, so am I hon­or­ing the theme by not fly­ing 4250 miles to Chicago? Perhaps.

But I will be watch­ing the tweets! The con­fer­ence orga­niz­ers have asked par­tic­i­pants to use #AOM2009 as a Twit­ter hash­tag, and I’ve already posted some tagged tweets as @billso

The Acad­emy also has an offi­cial Twit­ter account that will be used to post con­fer­ence news: @AOMConnect

There is a ded­i­cated web page for dis­play­ing these tweets at #AOM2009 Twit­ter Updates and most Twit­ter clients can dis­play search results.

I’ve posted a Twit­ter search wid­get below. It works in the mobile ver­sion of this arti­cle if you are using an iPhone, and it should work on Win­dows and Mac browsers.

The wid­get is also avail­able at http://billso.com/aom2009/
