Dear IB Colleagues,
You're invited to the 2022 X-Culture Research Hackathon,
a "writing retreat" of sorts where a small group of researchers works
intensively over several days on developing publishable papers.
It takes about 50 hours of focused work to develop the first draft of a
research paper. Usually, the process takes months or even years, as we put
in a few hours here, a few hours there, with days or even weeks in-between.
At the research hackathon, we pack these 50 hours into a few days of
intensive work.
*DATES*
July 5 - August 9, 2022
- Pre-event: July 5-7 (online or face-to-face in Miami during the AIB
conference)
- *Event: August 2-5 (online or face-to-face in Seattle, before the AOM
conference)*
- Post-event: August 5-9 (online or face-to-face in Seattle, during the
AOM conference)
*HOW IT WORKS*
- X-Culture data <https://x-culture.org/for-researchers/data/> are made
available.
- Researchers interested in IB/OB/HR come to the conference,
- intensively brainstorm ideas for papers based on the data,
- select the most promising ones,
- form co-author teams,
- work from dawn till dask for a few days on turning those ideas into
publishable papers,
- while also expanding your professional network and having some fun in
the process.

*REGISTRATION FEE*
- Online-only: $150
- Xackathon only (3 nights of lodging and meals in Seattle): $600
- All-inclusive (8 nights of lodging, meals, social activities, and
sightseeing): $1375
Please note, AOM conference hotels cost around $200/$300 per night. The
all-inclusive Xackathon registration option provides cheaper lodging for 8
nights at nearby dormitories plus meals. So if you plan to attend AOM, the
all-inclusive option, which provides you with the cheaper on-campus lodging
and meals, would be cheaper than staying at the conference hotels.
