Message from the Section Chair

Dear Members of the Revenue Management & Pricing Section,

As we move into the spring and summer months, we’re looking ahead to a number of exciting conferences. Please keep an eye on the forthcoming submission deadlines. The Revenue Management and Pricing Section Conference will be hosted at Ross Business School in July, and the Market Place Innovation Workshop will be held virtually in May.

My heartfelt thanks to the organizing committees of both events for their dedication and hard work in putting these programs together. I look forward to connecting with many of you at one of these upcoming gatherings.

Warm regards,
Stefanus Jasin
