Dear Steve and all in the team, thank you and what good news. Those of us
down under in Australia will have much time to plan our trip and engagement.
Thank you all, AACORN is such an important network for me and much
appreciated.
Cheers, Cheryl Kerr

Subject: The Art of Management and Organization 2012
Dear All
On its tenth anniversary in 2012, we are delighted to be able to announce
that the Art of Management and Organization Conference will be returning to
the UK. A call for stream proposals will be issued very soon and will be
distributed at this summer's round of conferences, but this is a
pre-announcement for AACORN members in appreciation of your recent efforts
to support the continuation of the conference.
The conference will be chaired by myself and hosted by Bristol Business
School at the University of Western England, on its Frenchay campus through
the Bristol Centre for Leadership and Organizational Ethics, which is
directed by Prof Peter Case, a former professional jazz pianist. Louise
Grisoni, who is a long-standing AACORN member, convenor of the POEME
working group and of the poetry streams at previous conferences will lead
an enthusiastic and experienced local team. The University has superb
conference facilities with lots of flexible space, affordable on site
accommodation, and its own Centre for the Performing Arts. Bristol itself,
shortlisted for European Capital of Culture in 2008, is one of England's
most culturally distinguished cities (from folk through popular to high
culture), with world class arts facilities, the oldest repertory theatre
outside London, and its own annual Festival of Ideas. It has everything and
is one of my favourite places.
The team will be able to draw on the collective wisdom of a very talented
international advisory board with enormous experience of organizing
conferences and arts-based events: Ceri Watkins (Essex), Ian King
(University of the Arts), Daved Barry (CBS), Steve Taylor (WPI), Phil
Hancock (Warwick), Chris Poulson (San Diego), Sam Warren (Essex), Garance
Marechal (Liverpool) and Hans Hansen (TTU).
Dates are likely to be 4-7th September 2012 if you want to pencil them in.
We look forward to issuing the detailed Call for Streams with additonal
information before the end of June.
Hope to see you all in Bristol - in party mood!
Best
Steve Linstead
