Submission of Abstracts and Special Session Proposals
Individual abstracts for all talks should be fewer than 250 words. This should give the committee good insight into the theme and value of your work. In addition to the standard contributed talk (4 talks per 90 minute session) we are excited to announce a new type of contributed presentation. A flash talk (like a traditional session just shorter) with an additional poster session. Several senior marketing science scholars have committed to attending these sessions to provide presenters with high-quality feedback. We will also offer prizes for the best presentations in this category. This track will be especially valuable to scholars newer to Marketing Science or with earlier stage ideas.
Special sessions are especially welcome. Experience suggests that they tend to generate the most audience engagement. We cordially invite anyone to propose a special session consisting of 4 presentations (with different presenters) around a common topic. Please email Ellen Tralongo at etralongo@informs.org for instructions on how to submit special session proposals.
