Dear Macromarketers,

We hope this email finds you, your families, and communities well and safe.

In this spirit of wellness and based upon current information and projected trends for the coronavirus pandemic, we have decided against holding the Macromarketing Conference, in 2020. This decision is disappointing for all of us, but health and safety must be our highest priorities.

Despite the conference’s cancelation, we still will publish abstracts in the Conference Proceedings, so we thank you for submitting your final abstracts. In addition, in lieu of our Conference in Bogotá, we will hold an online Macromarketing Symposium during the original conference dates (July 7-10), in the afternoons from 3-6 PM Colombian Time (GMT-5, 3 PM Colombia, 4 PM New York, 1 PM Los Angeles, 9 PM London, 11 PM Ankara, 5 AM Sydney).

The symposium will include online discussion panels and is intended to be a space for Macromarketers to join, share and discuss, about our role in a profoundly changed and changing world. A preliminary program includes:
