SUBMISSIONS HAVE CLOSED

The INFORMS Marketing Science Conference is an annual event bringing together leading marketing scholars, industry executives and members of non-profit organizations. The conference falls under the auspices of the INFORMS Society for Marketing Science (ISMS) sub-branch.

The Marketing faculty of the Stephen M. Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan invites you to submit abstracts of your research papers, present your work, and actively participate in the conference. The conference is an important forum to present cutting-edge research and intellectual exchange. The conference will also provide you with an opportunity to visit beautiful Ann Arbor, Michigan, consistently rated as one of the best places to live in America.

The conference begins early on the morning of Thursday, June 4, 2009, and concludes at 5:00pm on Saturday, June 6, 2009. While parallel sessions are planned during the day, the evenings will consist of a welcome reception on Thursday in the Davidson Winter Garden and an Awards Gala Dinner on Friday held at the famous Henry Ford Museum. Visit the Ann Arbor link of our site for suggestions on a number of alternative (optional) activities to do on your own for those of you planning a longer stay. Note as well that Saturday night and Sunday will be devoted to the John D. C. Little Festschrift.
