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 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.

- Days 4-8 (August 5-9)
- Those staying with the group in the dormitories will continue the discussions and paper development during optional joint breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and between the AOM sessions as schedule permits.
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.
