SERVSIG Host 2016
Introduction
The ÂÜÀòÉç¹ÙÍø Services Marketing SIG seeks a host for its 2016 International Research Conference; Deadline 15 Mar 2014
Call for Proposals: SERVSIG International Research Conference 2016
The ÂÜÀòÉç¹ÙÍø Services Marketing Special Interest Group (SERVSIG) started its International Research Conferences in 1999. The founding concept was that a different school in a different country would host the conference every two years. To ensure novel and fun service experiences, SERVSIG also promised that the conference would never repeat a city.
The SERVSIG International Research Conference has taken place in wonderful places around the world like New Orleans, USA; Sydney, Australia; Reims, France; Singapore; Liverpool, UK; Porto, Portugal; and Helsinki, Finland. The 2014 SERVSIG conference will take place in Thessaloniki, Greece.
With this call for proposals we are seeking the conference host for the SERVSIG conference in 2016. The conferences have typically been held in May or June, but other months will be considered. The events start on a Thursday evening and finish on a Saturday evening. This means there are two full days of conference programming. Care must be taken to avoid dates when other service conferences will occur.
In your proposal, please provide following information:
- Background – On both the host school and host city.
- Conference Facilities – These can be on on-campus and off-campus.
- Conference Dinners, Receptions, and Other Events – The conference is expected to start with a Thursday reception, and include dinners on Friday and Saturday nights.
- Conference Organization – Who would be the conference co-chairs and who would be the conference support staff? (Note that SERVSIG Officers would also select a conference coordinating committee.)
- Hotel Arrangements – What would be the primary conference hotel? What secondary hotels would be available? What would be the estimated prices?
- Travel Arrangements – What are the nearest international airports, train stations, etc.
- Summary of Projected Attendee Prices – Summarize the projected conference attendee prices for registration, hotel, travel, etc.
- Sightseeing Possibilities in Host City or Surrounding Area – Discuss the city, the region, the country, special attractions, etc.
- Questions regarding the conference can be addressed to Ray Fisk, Conference Curator, Ray.Fisk@txstate.edu.
- Please send your proposal to Ray.Fisk@txstate.edu by March 15th, 2014.
- We plan to announce the 2016 conference location at the SERVSIG conference in Thessaloniki, Greece in June 2014.
SERVSIG looks forward to your proposals!
