    Submissions will be accepted in one of three categories (1) Abstracts only; (2) Abstracts plus working paper; and (3) Special Session proposals.

    All abstracts should not exceed 1800 characters (about 250 words), and should clearly state the marketing relevance, keywords, contribution, authors, and presenting author.  Keywords must be included to help organizers place the paper in appropriate sessions and tracks. An author may be the primary presenter for only a single paper during the entire conference. However, authors may co-author any number of other papers.  

    Submission deadline: February 8, 2018 (only one submission per presenter will be accepted).

    Notification of acceptance: March 6, 2018

    The author of an accepted abstract is required to register for the conference no later than March 20, 2018. This policy helps to limit the number of cancelled papers and no-shows.
