Thank you to Professors and for an inspiring session. They tackled the real questions doctoral students face: How do you handle interventions ethically without depriving control groups of benefits? How do you balance publishability with genuine impact for the community we research for? What makes Better World research distinct in marketing—and will editors actually accept it? Their answers demonstrated passion for societal issues, and publishability is not mutually exclusive.

IJRM / JM / JMR Reviewer Workshop – Workshop 2026 Registration

Following the success of the Reviewer Workshop at both EMAC and ��������� conferences, we are happy to announce this Workshop during the EMAC Spring Conference 2026.

This workshop is designed to support junior scholars in developing their reviewing skills for top marketing journals.

The session will be moderated by journal editors and co-editors, but active participation is expected. Specifically, participants are required to review one assigned paper in advance and bring their insights to the session for discussion. You have the choice between a Consumer Behavior, a Consumer and Culture Theory, a Modeling and a Strategy paper, and will receive your assigned paper several weeks prior to the workshop.

Besides conference registration, participation also requires registering for the workshop, which you can do at the website

.

The deadline is April 30th, so that you have sufficient time for the review.

Looking forward to seeing you in Bath, UK!

2026����������� Marketing and Public Policy Conference –��Last��Chance��to Register at the��Early��Bird��Rate!

May 16-18, 2026��| Ottawa, Ontario

The��deadline��to register at the��Early��Bird��rate for the 2026����������� Marketing and Public Policy is a few weeks away! Be sure to register by April 8, 2026 for the best possible price at ama.org/mppc!

Co Chairs:��Monica LaBarge, Jacob Brower, Michael Mulvey

Theme:��Global Voices, Shared Challenges: Marketing and Policy Beyond Borders

Around the world, marketing scholars, policymakers, and societal decision-makers are grappling with complex, interdependent challenges—from climate change and health inequities to data privacy and financial inclusion. These issues cross national, disciplinary, and institutional borders, and addressing them requires a collective, boundary-spanning approach. Recognizing and challenging these boundaries is essential to fostering more inclusive, innovative, and impactful research. By deliberately looking beyond these boundaries—both literal and figurative—we can discover alternative approaches and draw on examples of research, collaborations, and policies that meaningfully improve the well-being of individuals, businesses, societies, and the planet.

The 2026 Marketing & Public Policy Conference convenes in Ottawa, Ontario, marking the first time this conference has been held outside the United States. As the national capital of a country known for its pluralism and progressive social policies, Ottawa offers a compelling context for engaging in global dialogue. Explore research that examines the scope of marketing & public policy scholarship and reflects a diverse range of voices, disciplines, contexts and methodologies to address shared challenges and drive impactful marketing and public policy solutions.

Join us in Ottawa, Ontario, on May 16-18, 2026, to amplify global voices, address shared challenges, and increase the impact of marketing and policy research.
