This annual conference serves as a forum for academic scholars and research practitioners from diverse disciplines to share the best available research on both consumer and firm behavior related to China and India – two of the world’s largest and fastest growing emerging markets. Research on other emerging markets is also welcome. All interested academics and marketing practitioners are invited to register and attend, subject to conference capacity constraints. Last year’s conference agenda is available here.

The conference will begin with a reception on Thursday evening, September 19 and end late afternoon on Saturday, September 21. There will be a celebratory dinner on Friday evening.

Abstracts should be sent to ciip@yale.edu by March 31, 2019. Chosen presenters will be notified by April 30, 2019.
