ASAC 2014 will be hosted in Muskoka, Ontario, Canada, by Nipissing University. The conference theme, Sustainability and Innovation in Work and Leisure is an opportunity to examine and discuss issues and phenomena about change and the ecological, social and economic impacts on our workspaces and society. Organizational Theory Division welcomes scholars, practitioners, and teachers to reflect on and share their unique perspectives as authors, reviewers, session chairs, or discussants.
The conference will take place at the beautiful Deerhurst Resort located in the town of Huntsville in the Muskoka Region of Northern Ontario, also known for being the renowned cottage country of Toronto. The Muskoka Region was selected by National Geographic Traveler as one of the top places in the world to visit in 2012. The conference site, Deerhurst Resort, has been known as "the place where the world meets" as evidenced by its hosting of the 2010 G8 Summit.
