The conference falls under the auspices of the INFORMS Society for Marketing Science (ISMS) sub-branch.<\/p>\n<p>The Marketing faculty at the Boston University 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.<\/p>\n<p>The conference begins early on <strong>Thursday, June 7, 2012<\/strong>, and concludes on <strong>Saturday, June 9, 2012<\/strong>. While parallel sessions are planned during the day, the evenings will consist of a welcome reception on Thursday and a Gala Dinner on Friday. The conference will also provide you with the opportunity to visit Boston. Perhaps Boston can be best described as a welcome contradiction: Hip alongside historic. Skyscrapers surround parks. Gourmet meets pizza. Just as the city pays homage to every period of America\u2019s timeline, it also serves as all things to all people. Boston is a wonderful blend of stylish sophistication and historic New England charm. You can easily uncover the city\u2019s past while enjoying its distinctively modern edge.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#Abstracts\">Abstracts<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#Special Session Proposals\">Special Session Proposals<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#Overview Deadlines\">Overview Deadlines<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><a name=\"Abstracts\"> <\/a>Submitting Your Conference Abstracts<\/strong><br \/>\nWe welcome submissions on a broad range of marketing science topics, including, but not limited to, marketing strategy, marketing models, methods, theory, as well as empirical research.
