Membership Benefits

Every year at varying locations throughout the UK, BAM holds a lively Conference in September, which is preceded by the Doctoral Symposium

• The Annual Conference is the cornerstone event for the wider business and management research community
• An excellent opportunity to network and gain valuable feedback on the full and developmental papers presented from fellow peers in a vibrant, supportive and intellectually stimulating environment

We offer development programmes and events across all career stages and types. These map onto our BAM Framework, which is designed to help our members navigate their careers.
