Women in Sales Pre-Conference

Nashville, TN

Join us for the Women in Sales (WinS) Pre-Conference on February 9-10 in Nashville, TN. The Women in Sales (WinS) Pre-conference is designed to both support current women sales scholars and to encourage the development of future women sales scholars by focusing on scholars teaching or researching in the sales area, or with a tangential interest (e.g., retailing, services, relationship marketing, or OFR). This pre-conference aims to advance sales scholarship, promote integration with related areas, and promote networks to facilitate this advancement. We also hope to encourage emerging women sales scholars.
The WinS pre-conference, from Thursday evening through Friday lunch targets women with an interest in teaching or researching in the sales area. We strongly encourage men in the sales area to join us for our Friday afternoon programming during the main AMA conference, as we explore how to support women academics in the sales area and bring additional attention to researching professional selling and sales management.

This event takes place before and in conjunction with the 2023 AMA Winter AMA Academic Conference.
