International Marketing Research Colloquium
The Academy of International Business is pleased to announce the second International Marketing Research Colloquium, tentatively planned for June 30th, 8:00am-10:30pm EDT, as a Pre-Conference event in conjunction with AIB’s Annual Conference in Manchester.
The event will feature current and former editors and associate editors of international marketing/business journals, and other active researchers who will collectively share decades of experience in international marketing scholarship, publication strategies, and challenges of publishing in the leading journals. Specifically, the goal of this Colloquium is to provide insights regarding the selection of timely, interesting, and relevant international marketing topics for research, manuscript positioning, theory and methodology considerations, manuscript preparation and submission, and nuances of addressing reviewer concerns, among other topics.
A key feature of the event is to provide author-attendees with in-person feedback in small roundtable discussions pertaining to papers submitted for inclusion in the Colloquium. All Sheth Foundation International Marketing Research Colloquium attendees are required to submit papers, whether complete, nearing completion, or work-in-progress. (For WIP projects, please submit a 5-page (max) summary, inclusive of key references, tables, and figures.) These may include manuscripts that you have submitted or plan to submit to this year’s AIB Conference or other (international) marketing conferences. Our aim is to offer insights from established international marketing scholars for each manuscript regardless of its stage of development.
We invite all researchers with an interest in international marketing to register for free and attend the Colloquium by submitting a manuscript for roundtable discussion and feedback by our international marketing editors. All scholars from Ph.D. students to senior faculty are welcome to attend and get feedback on their work.

The deadline for submission of papers for the Colloquium is May 15th, 2026.
