About EAM
A regional affiliate of the Academy of Management, the EAM holds its annual meeting and conference each May at locations in eastern North America. Competitive papers, symposia, and network groups emphasize the pursuit of excellence in teaching and scholarly research in the field of management.
In 1985, the EAM initiated a series of biennial international conferences. Jointly sponsored by EAM and local universities in international locations, the EAM-I Conferences have become a source of collaboration and learning among academics and practitioners since their inception. The first EAM-I conference was held in Tilburg in the Netherlands. Since then conferences have been held in locations around the world, including Berlin, Singapore, Cape Town, and most recently Rio de Janeiro. Please visit the EAM Homepage at www.eaom.org for details about EAM and its local and international conferences.

Situated at a height of 949 metres (3113 ft.) Above the sea level, the city is blessed with salubrious climate throughout the year. Most of the homes and schools in Bangalore didn't have fans till the beginning of the nineties. In summer while the rest of India wilted in the heat, Bangaloreans would snuggle under warm blankets at night. Thus Bangalore came to be called the Air-conditioned city in India. The city has dry tropical savannah type of climate. The rains are very frequent and the summers are warm. Winters are cold. But no weather goes to its extreme. One can visit the city any time of the year and enjoy the pleasant climate but it is advisable to avoid the rainy season between July and September.
   
Bangalore temperatures and rainfall in June and July is comparable to Chicago or New York at that time of the year.
   
  HIGH LOW AVG Rainfall
CHICAGO 84 F 66 F 4 in
NEW YORK 84 F 64 F 4 in
BANGALORE 80 F 69 F 3.6 in
