In the weeks leading up to the 2025 Annual Meeting in Copenhagen, we will use this page as a repository for announcements about the meeting. Here are some important updates and announcements as we get closer to the big event:
🚨 A Super Important July Newsletter
In this newsletter, we seek out intrepid volunteers, highlight some sessions of interest (including the locations of two Division sponsored socials, which are not included in the online program), share proposed changes to HCM’s bylaws, thank this year’s sponsors, and announce the winners of HCM’s annual career and paper awards. Click here to view this newsletter.
📅 Program/Conference Highlights
- 🕓 This year's Division Distinguished Scholar Keynote Address, Awards Ceremony, and Business Meeting will take place on Saturday, July 26 from 4:30–6:30 PM (Bella Center, Hall D, D4-m1). This is a change from our traditional Monday evening placement for this session. We expect for this new Saturday placement to accommodate the greatest number of HCM members’ travel schedules.
- 🍷 This year's Division Reception will take place on Saturday, July 26 from 7:30–9:30 PM at Statens Naturhistoriske Museum (Danish Museum of Natural History), Wildlife Photographer of the Year Exhibit. (Note: This will be the only HCM-sponsored social for all members during the conference. Unfortunately, higher-than-normal costs and decreasing sponsorship funds have forced the Division to significantly reduce the total number of sponsored socials. We hope to return to hosting more socials/receptions next year in Philadelphia. Start bugging your Deans and Chairs now about sponsoring next year's Annual Meeting. More on this year's fantastic sponsors below.)
- 🍻 This year's HCM Doctoral Student (and Recent Graduates) Social will take place on the evening of Friday, July 25th, 2025. Division members who are doctoral students or recent graduates are encouraged to attend. The event will take place at The Globe Irish Pub (Nørregade 43-45, 1165 København K - Denmark) from 7–9 pm. Food will be provided.

📜 Proposed Changes to HCM Bylaws
In order to reflect an array of improvements to the Division, including the creation of a new DEI Committee, new Division awards, and an effort to ensure fairness and transparency in the Division’s awarding processes, the Executive Committee is proposing a series of changes to the Division bylaws. The proposed changes, as well as respective rationales for each of the changes and an opportunity for feedback, can be found at: https://hcm.aom.org/about-us/2025-proposed-changes-to-the-bylaws.
