This event will take place in-person only. 

The British Academy of Management (BAM) invites you to submit your papers for the upcoming BAM MKE Teaching Practice Conference 2025, to be held at the iconic Shard in London. This exciting event will bring together educators, practitioners, and thought leaders to explore the dynamic landscape of management education and its role in shaping a sustainable and responsible future.

Conference Theme: "Innovating Management Education for a Sustainable and Responsible Future"

In an ever-evolving business environment, it is essential for management educators to adapt and innovate their teaching practices. This year’s theme invites you to reflect on the challenges and opportunities within management education, emphasising sustainable practices that foster social responsibility, ethical leadership, and environmental stewardship.

We encourage submissions that explore:

  • Innovative pedagogies and teaching methods that enhance student engagement and learning outcomes.
  • The integration of sustainability and ethical considerations into management curricula.
  • Case studies demonstrating successful initiatives in management education.
  • Collaborative approaches to teaching and learning in diverse educational contexts.

Benefits

Benefits of attending

At the 2025 BAM MKE Teaching Practice conference, we will:

  • Share learning from your practice that will encourage colleagues
  • Learn from each other about what works in keeping learning and teaching front and centre and sharing your voice
  • Develop ideas and plans for having more influence in your work
  • Develop an action plan to publish your education innovations
  • Be inspired by our speakers and inspire one another through facilitated networking

There will be opportunities to explore how we can influence others in relation to learning and teaching. At the end of the day, you will leave with plenty of ideas about developing your own practice and added confidence to actively influence your colleagues and institutions.

Learning objectives
Share your practice

This conference is designed to be interactive and supportive. We invite participants to share their experiences of how everyday practices of university teaching and learning impact the lives of their students and colleagues. The conference will be a supportive place to do this and learn from others.

We will be offering ‘market-place’ tables for conversations around key themes identified from your submissions. There will also be opportunities for sensemaking, imagining what teaching might look like in the future, exploring the changing roles of educators and students, as well as opportunities for personal action-planning.

The intention is that this day of learning and networking will support you as practitioners, educators and as ‘academics’ to grow one or more communities of practice. Our vision is to meet needs for practice development across management education in a way that is inclusive, practical and highly engaging.

Impactful Dissemination

There are a range of ways in which we can both enhance impact and use our work to develop our careers.  This conference is therefore designed to support you by creating a space for discussion and reflection on how your impactful practice can be disseminated.  We aim to design a number of opportunities to share practical ideas about how we can do this, thus benefitting both the field and our careers. Last year our ‘meet the management journal editor’ session was well received. This year we are looking for ways to build upon this. Publishing in journals is just one way to be impactful. More information will follow nearer the event.
