CALL FOR PAPERS

2022 Spring Conference
(ISM is an affiliate organization of MBAA -International)

Opportunities and Challenges for the Future of Marketing

Palmer House, Chicago IL
March 23-25, 2022

It’s time to think about submitting your articles and ideas and plan to register for the International Society of Marketing 2022 Spring Conference to be held at the beautiful and historic Palmer House Hilton Hotel (palmerhousehiltonhotel.com) in Chicago’s vibrant Downtown, March 23-25, 2022.

This year’s theme is Opportunities and Challenges for the Future of Marketing. Building on our many successes in the past, this three-day venue continues to attract innovative marketing educators and scholars worldwide that afford the opportunity to share one’s insights and ingenuity in the form of scholarly papers, panel sessions, discussions, fire sessions and more. You are encouraged to submit in any of these formats. In addition, the ISM actively encourages PhD students and faculty to submit their work.

As we innovate, a Special Marketers’ Session will be held to allow practitioners to share best practices and challenges they went through during the past year. To support a participant, send a 200- word abstract to the Program Chairs.

The submission deadline will be January 7, 2022. The submission link for papers and special sessions is:
