A Message from IACM President Cynthia Wang |

Dear IACM friends,
I am excited to serve as IACM President and I look forward to working with you in the next several years.
It was wonderful to return to an in-person conference format, our first in several years, this past summer in Ottawa. Thank you to the conference organizing team for an amazing experience. Kudos goes to our Conference Chair, Jiyin Cao, for putting together a fantastic program, IACM’s Executive Director, Brandon Charpied, who continues to ensure attendees have a memorable experience, and A.J. Corner, our Local Arrangements Chair, who highlighted the best parts of Ottawa. We would like to thank Deb Cai, Michael Gross, and Laura Rees for hosting a fantastic Doctoral Student Workshop sponsored by the Conflict Management Division of the Academy of Management. In addition, we thank Negotiation and Team Resources Institute (NTR) and Jeanne Brett for support in establishing the NTR-IACM Early Career Scholars Program.
Last but not least, thank you to Taya Cohen. As Bruce Barry mentioned in the 2022 Ottawa conference, I have some big shoes to fill following Taya Cohen’s presidency, where she led several initiatives—just to name a few, she has worked with former Editor-in-Chief, Qi Wang, to shepherd NCMR (our flagship journal) to open access, hosted successful virtual conferences at the height of COVID-19, and improved IACM governance.
In 2023, we head to Thessaloniki, Greece, for our next IACM conference with Nicholas Hayes as our Program Chair and Illias Kapoutsis as our Local Arrangement Chair—save the date for July 9-12, 2023. I have already heard from many of you that you plan to attend, so it should be a lively and intellectually stimulating time.
Beyond planning for the conference, the IACM leadership team will continue to support the community in several ways, including hosting virtual seminar series, publishing impactful research on conflict and negotiation in NCMR (led by our new NCMR Editor-in-Chief, Jimena Ramirez), and continuing to connect with our community. We are excited that Scott Wildermuth and Siyu Yu will join Rachel Campagna and Niro Sivanathan as our Board Representatives-at-Large, who will help support these initiatives.
Best regards,
Cynthia Wang
IACM President 2022-2024

How to Stay Smart in a Smart World – A conversation with Gerd Gigerenzer |
Rescheduled for Tuesday, December 6th
Speaker: Prof. Dr. Gerd Gigerenzer, Director Emeritus Max Planck Institute for Human Development
Moderated by Michel Mann
From dating apps and self-driving cars to facial recognition and the justice system, artificial intelligence (AI) has been widely championed – but there are limitations and risks too. Humans are the greatest source of uncertainty in this situations and Gerd Gigerenzer shows how, when people are involved, trust in complex algorithms can lead to illusions of certainty that become a recipe for disaster. We need, now more than ever, to arm ourselves with knowledge about how to make better decisions in a digital age.
In this conversation, we will learn from Gerd Gigerenzer how managers and negotiators can use smart heuristics to improve their decision-making. And we will hear more about his critique of behavioral economics.
