Society for Marketing Advances – 36th Annual Doctoral Consortium
The Society of Marketing Advances proudly announces its 36th Annual Doctoral Consortium, which takes place on November 6 – 7, 2024, in conjunction with the SMA annual conference (November 6 – 9) in Tampa, Florida at the Hilton Tampa Downtown Hotel. As this year’s co-program chairs, we’d like to welcome both nominators and nominees to begin thinking about the nomination of excellent doctoral students from your program. Specifically, we invite doctoral program coordinators and faculty to nominate outstanding doctoral candidates from their program as their 2024 doctoral consortium fellow(s). More than one student per school may be nominated and self-nomination is acceptable. Please note the various dates we provide below and the materials necessary for nomination.
The selection and registration process begins with a submission package, which will include the nominee’s CV, and a 250 (or less)-word bio and picture. We encourage Doctoral Program Coordinators and faculty to nominate outstanding students, or students may nominate themselves. Please send these materials to Dr. Christopher Hopkins by September 30TH at cdh0059@auburn.edu. Once the nominee’s eligibility has been confirmed, the nominee will be asked to complete the conference registration form and submit the conference/consortium registration fee. Registration rate for the consortium and conference is $275 and includes consortium registration, all consortium and conference events, and access to the SMA Placement Service. This rate is $325 if paid after October 15, 2024.
Registration materials will be made available via the SMA website soon. Please watch for a web blast providing a link for all necessary information.
As your hosts, we would like to continue the SMA tradition of making this an informative, memorable, and rewarding experience for all. We are lining up an all-star cast of eminent and emerging scholars in the field, with an exciting, interactive two-day program that doctoral students will not want to miss! Further, several opportunities for fellows to network with both newly-minted PhD scholars and eminent scholars from various subdisciplines in marketing will be a part of the program. Events will include opportunities for students to gain knowledge in teaching, research methods, publication advice, as well as the inclusion of an interactive session we call Speed Doctoring, in which students have an opportunity to get feedback on their dissertation ideas from multiple scholars and fellows.
The focus of this year’s SMA conference is: The Age of Artificial Intelligence. Full information on the conference and accommodation can be found on SMA’s conference website:
We look forward to seeing you in Tampa!
