Abstract

This paper constitutes an autoethnographic account of one’s delegate’s inner process post participation in the September 2016 Art of Management and Organisation Conference (AoMO) in Bled, Slovenia. This account troubles issues concerning the persistence of learning and social connection post the ‘island’ experience of a conference itself. It charts the ‘call and response’ patterns of written exchange between the autoethnographer and his respondents, relating the effects of this reflexive ‘call and response’ on both parties sense of self and sense of professional direction. The paper suggests that through this written exchange the conference experience ceases to be a nostalgia infused island and instead becomes a generative archipelago that clusters learning and propulsive action towards itself.
