Theme: The conference theme is “Hot Topics within Marketing Education”.  The marketing discipline is evolving faster than ever.  Traditional topics bear little resemblance to the material that marketing educators mastered when earning their degrees, or even to textbooks used within the last few years.  Traditional specializations within marketing practice have evolved as well in response to industry innovation, advances in technology, and consumer connectivity.  As the educators or tomorrow’s marketing professionals, our challenge is to stay abreast of the dramatic, disruptive progress taking place in business and in marketing practice to ensure the continued relevance and value that marketers provide.  To this end, paper and panel topics related to hot topics in marketing education that ensure a viable future for tomorrow’s marketing professionals are requested.

Format:

  • Refereed Papers:  Full manuscripts, limited to 12 double-spaced pages, can be submitted for presentation consideration via blind peer review.
  • Position Papers:  Three-page position papers outlining works in progress, new developments or issues related to the Conference Theme are encouraged.
  • Panels:  Proposals for three to four panelists to provide their perspectives on a relevant topic, followed by a group discussion are welcome.
