Programme Structure

There will be six main forums for presenting and discussing research and scholarly thought.

• Special Topic Sessions provide opportunities for focused attention on cutting-edge and important topics. Successful sessions offer a coherent perspective on emerging substantive, theoretical, or methodological issues.
• Competitive Paper Sessions include papers that represent the completed work of their authors. The EACR conference co-chairs will assign accepted papers to sessions that reflect similar scholarly interests.
• Working Paper Track: Participants typically present preliminary findings from the early stages of a research programme. Authors distribute their papers and display their findings poster-style in a plenary session.
• Roundtables: Encourage intensive participant discussion of consumer research topics and issues.
• Film Festival: Enables scholars to present their videographies on consumption-related topics at the conference.
• Doctoral Consortium:

Forum for doctoral students to receive guidance on their dissertations from an expert panel.
