Opportunities to Sponsor or Exhibit

We are offering companies and institutions the opportunity to sponsor and exhibit at Kent Business School, University of Kent for the BAM2025 Conference, the UK's largest business and management Conference!

Running from 1st - 5th September 2025, BAM is providing a number of Sponsorship and Exhibitor packages that help increase your organisation’s brand awareness, while supporting and promoting your company to our attending academics from over 60 countries across the world.

Take centre stage alongside our 1150+ academics by:
  🔷  Sponsoring a particular element of the Conference;
  🔷  Exhibiting in-person and online to raise leads and sales;
  🔷  Enhancing engagement with our global audience online and in-person;
  🔷  Generating leads and promoting thought leadership;
  🔷  Increasing your brand awareness and exposure globally.

We recognise that a one-size-fits-all approach may not always be ideal. We welcome discussions with potential sponsors to understand your specific goals and tailor a sponsorship package that delivers maximum value and meets your unique requirements.

If you are interested in a Sponsorship or Exhibitor package, would like more information or have further suggestions for customised opportunities, find our Sponsorship and Exhibitor options below.

At the British Academy of Management we share a desire to intelligently and positively respond to this rapidly changing environment and, so, this year the theme of our Annual Conference is:

On the Border: Management Challenges, Business Opportunities and Disrupted Institutional Contexts
 

BAM’s 39th Annual Conference will be hosted by Kent Business School on 1st September (virtual day) and 3rd - 5th September (in person). The Conference is chaired by Professor Patricia Lewis and Professor Thanos Papadopoulos

The main activity of the conference is the presentation and discussion of new research, complemented by high-profile keynote panels and interactive workshops, involving leading academics, practitioners and policymakers. 

This is the third year that the BAM conference will run in a hybrid format to allow authors to present their papers in an inclusive manner, whilst also creating networking opportunities for our community. In addition, some in-person programme elements such as keynote panels, will be live-streamed to our virtual audience. We expect over 1,000 participants from over 58 countries again. The conference will be run in real time, in person and online using a powerful platform (EventsAir) that offers many attractive features such as the ability to capture and follow up new leads and conduct live audience polling. There will also be an interactive and in-person (physical) exhibition hall and networking facility enabling delegates to connect with each other bringing virtual and in-person audiences together (one-to-one and in groups).  

Featuring academics and practitioners from over 58 countries, and a broad range of industries and perspectives, this conference is a perfect opportunity to promote your activities as a forward-thinking, engaged and collaborative player supporting the valuable insights shared. Covering topics such as mental health, equality and diversity and sustainability, this conference is progressive. These are challenges we all face and must respond to in a more informed way to make the transformation that is now needed.
