The Society for Marketing Advances (SMA), a premier marketing association, holds an annual conference that brings together marketing educators from throughout the United States and abroad.

The SMA 2009 Annual Conference will be held in New Orleans, Louisiana from November 4 - 7, 2009. The Conference Theme is Embracing Challanges and Change: A Global Perspective.  Paper submission deadline is  April 1, 2009.  The program includes scholarly presentations, teaching sessions and competitions, a doctoral dissertation competition and doctoral consortium, retail strategy and consumer decision research seminar, exhibits, special sessions on current issues in marketing, and an academic placement service.   A great way to get involved is by submitting your scholarly work for consideration, submitting special session proposals, or volunteering to serve as a session chair, discussion leader, or reviewer. While the major focus of the conference is marketing, there'll be plenty of time for relaxation, entertainment, and meeting with old and new friends. The Conference hotel is the Sheraton New Orleans on Canal Street. Plan now to attend!

As a benefit of membership, SMA members receive The Journal of Business Research and The Journal of Marketing Theory and Practice, and may subscribe at a reduced rate to Marketing Education Review. Officers are working to expand services offered for Society members. Learn more about us on these Web pages and become an active member of SMA.  

NOTE: Online conference registration will be available in the Spring of 2009.
