THE CONFERENCE

INSEAD will host the 1998 Marketing Science Conference on its campus in Fontainebleau, France. The theme of the conference is Marketing Science in a Global Economy. While papers in all areas of marketing science are welcome, we are especially interested in research involving marketing science applied to international issues and problems. We are particularly interested in sessions combining academics and practitioners.

ABSTRACTS

Individuals from industry, government, and academia are invited to submit abstracts. Abstracts should be 150 words minimum and no more than 250 words including key words to assist in the assignment of abstracts to sessions. The abstracts should clearly define the marketing problem and the contribution of the work. A book of abstracts will be provided with the registration fee. Abstracts must be received by November 17, 1997. They can be sent by e-mail to meet the deadline, but please also submit a hard copy and a copy in Microsoft Word format. Each abstract must have the title of the presentation, the name of the primary presenter, the authors' names, affiliations, and addresses. In addition, the abstract should include telephone and fax numbers, as well as an e-mail address or WEB page URL where the primary presenter can be contacted.

ACCOMMODATIONS

We have reserved rooms in several hotels located within a 30 minute drive from INSEAD. Because of the World Football Cup being held in the Paris area during this period, it will be extremely difficult to make last minute reservations. We, therefore, request that you make reservations through INSEAD as early as possible and definitely before December 15, 1997 (Please use this Accommodation Booking Form).

TRANSPORTATIONS SUGGESTIONS

The INSEAD campus and the hotels where reservations have been made is located approximately 45 minutes from Paris by car or train (train fare from Paris is about US $20), 30 minutes by car from Orly airport and 45 minutes by car from the De Gaulle airport. Taxi fares from the Airport are about US $150 so that you may want to share cabs. If you decide to rent a car, please make the arrange-ments directly with your travel agent or car rental company. Parking is free at the conference hotels and on the INSEAD campus.
