About the ART Forum
June 3-5, 2020 | Simon Business School, University of Rochester, New York
The 31st annual ART Forum features practitioner and academic presentations on techniques useful to marketing researchers. It encompasses traditional topics such as segmentation, targeting and positioning and embraces new frontiers of text, video, and picture data, field experiments and big data analytics for improving business performance. Practitioners coming to the ART Forum will learn about new solutions and academics will learn about new problems.
The ART Forum has a history as a rich venue for advancing the science and practice of marketing thought.
