Prestigious conference to be held at University of Portsmouth
Portsmouth Business School is delighted to be hosting the 29th annual conference of the British Academy of Management (BAM) from September 8-10
BAM is the leading authority in the academic field of management in the UK, supporting and representing the community of scholars and engaging with international peers.
Attracting nearly 1,000 visitors from around 50 countries over three days, the BAM2015 Conference
is intended to facilitate dialogue and open debate in management research, education and practice.
Dr Alan Tait, senior lecturer in strategic management, who is organising the event with BAM, said: ”Hosting such a large high-profile conference is very important to the University
of Portsmouth. It provides opportunities to engage with the regional business community and showcases the University as an ideal venue for similar conferences in the future.”
The University is well-placed to hold such a large conference with its wide range of quality facilities and a team of highly-experienced event organisers who will oversee the careful planning and hosting of some 400 events a year.
BAM2015 is the largest conference the University has held but David Goodwin, commercial manager of the University’s conferences and lettings team, says that with such a large and varied campus and an accommodating city, anyone thinking of arranging a conference, large or small, will not be disappointed.
”The conferences and lettings team hosts around 400 external meetings and conferences each year and the University is one of the most popular choices for events in the region.
”We have a wide range of lecture theatres, halls and seminar rooms to meet every requirement. Full, top-quality catering services are available, providing anything from small private lunches and buffets to large formal banquets.
”During the summer, award-winning en-suite residential accommodation can be provided in halls of residence, all within easy walking distance of conference facilities. The conference and accommodation facilities are also accredited as ’hospitality assured’, a benchmark of high quality and service.”
The conference comes just before the start of the autumn term when the University welcomes over 21,000 new and returning students, including 4,000 international and EU students from over 140 different countries.
