ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
We continue the SMA tradition of providing an engaging, memorable, and rewarding experience for all. We have amassed an amazing set of scholars in the field ready to impart their wisdom, with an exciting, two-day interactive program that doctoral students will not want to miss! The program provides engaging, fun lunches and breaks, as well as other excellent opportunities to network with one another and with both emerging and eminent marketing scholars across the two days. More details will be available soon, but the program includes many top academics in the field providing excellent, timely teaching, research/analytical, and publication advice. One interesting session we offer is called Speed Doctoring, in which highly-qualified scholars and fellow students provide useful feedback to all Consortium Fellows on their dissertation ideas. Also, the Meet the Editors session, which is wrapped into both the consortium and conference, will include editors and representatives from a large number of major worldwide journals, providing excellent publishing advice.
