Traditionally, the GFA Conference Series puts a special interest on quantitative marketing and marketing research.

The aim of the GFA Conference Series is to provide a platform for rich intellectual exchange among marketers and related scientists in the heart of Europe. Therefore, we joyfully invite researchers from the general scientific community from all cultures and parts of the world to actively participate by presenting, discussing and exchanging their personal insights into marketing issues.
