ABOUT GMSIG CONFERENCE
The GMSIG conference aims to provide all participants with opportunities to hear, think and contribute creatively to the continuing formation of the global marketing field. This year’s theme is intended to encourage global marketing researchers to discuss how the turbulence times shape up their global business and marketing tactics.
This year's GMSIG Conference at Crete, Greece offers outstanding opportunities for academics to share their insights and learn from the global marketing research finding and experiences of others in times of uncertainty. The conference will be filled with interactive, energetic, and enlightening sessions, networking opportunities with the world’s foremost international marketing scholars, and a unique cultural experience in Crete, Greece.

Be it a global recession, a pandemic like Covid-19, social and political unrest, extreme weather events, the world is a turbulent place that demands preparedness and flexibility to rise above challenges and convert turmoil into opportunity.
This year’s conference seeks to not only understand the impact that these challenges have on global firms but also outline the strategies that global firms pursue to navigate this environment.

VENUE
The gorgeous island of Crete, on the southern portion of the Aegean Sea, is one of Greece’s most diverse islands. Blessed with miles of pristine beaches, an eventful history, and glorious mountains, there are many reasons why many dreams to have this favorite holiday destination become a reality.
Believed to be the birthplace of Zeus (Greek god), Crete is the biggest of the Greek Islands and the fifth largest of the islands situated in the Mediterranean Sea. It is divided into four prefectures which are: Chania, Rethymno, Heraklion, and Lasithi. Within each area are unique treasures engrossed in legends that conceal their fate. From the prominent Minoan Civilization to Venetian Rule, much of Crete’s heritage is manifested in the forms of architecture and archeological ruins.
DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM
This Consortium will provide an opportunity for Ph.D. students with an interest in international and cross-cultural marketing (broadly defined) to further develop their research ideas, to learn about the challenges of conducting research in international marketing, and building a successful academic career in this field. In addition, students will be able to broaden their professional networks in the area.
The goal of the Consortium will be to provide a supportive discussion among doctoral students and the participating faculty on topics such as:
-
Trends in international marketing research;
-
Challenges in carrying out high-impact international marketing research aimed at top journals;
-
Managing the dissertation and the job search process; and
-
Starting an academic career.
