ISMS provides sponsorships to support special conferences of interest to ISMS membership. These funds are primarily used to help establish new events by providing start-up funds and enabling organizers to keep registration fees affordable. ISMS sponsored early offerings of several conferences that are now a mainstay of the marketing science community including the Summer Institute on Competitive Strategy, Quantitative Marketing and Economics Conference, and Yale China-India Conference. Organizers may apply for sponsorship by contacting the VP of Meetings. See the policy on conference sponsorship for more details.
