With the AOM Annual Meeting program coming together, it is time to think about your own preparations! In July, the AOM Annual Meeting will depart North America for the first time for a European visit. Copenhagen is set to be a different AOM experience. Most notably, all divisions and sessions will be hosted together in one (massive) conference center, The Bella Center.
First and foremost, to participate in a session in any capacity, your AOM membership must be valid through 31 July 2025, and you must be registered for the Annual Meeting. You can register here. Early registration is still available until 29 April 2025. For more information, visit AOM's Registration, Attendance, and Guest Policy.
The Bella Center is located about 8 km outside of central (downtown) Copenhagen. But with Danish public transport efficiency, it is only a 20-minute (regularly scheduled) train journey away. The Bella Center is on the M1 Green Metro line (Copenhagen Metro Green Line), so if you're planning on staying in central Copenhagen, where most accommodation options are located (book your hotel accommodation here), we would suggest staying near one of the M1 metro stops. The Kongens Nytorv metro stop by the iconic Nyhavn area and the Christianshavns metro stop in the Christianshavns district seem to be the most central areas on the M1 metro line that are in relatively close proximity to the Bella Center.
Being a conference center, there won't be much catering or food options in The Bella Center. There will be 'grab and go' food and drink items for purchase in various locations within the Bella Centre and there are about 20 cafes, restaurants, and markets located within a 10-minute walk.
