Inaugural B2B Connect Research Symposium

May 2023 in Odense, Denmark

The inaugural B2B Connect Research Symposium, cohosted by the American Marketing Association(AMA) Interorganizational Special Interest Group (IOSIG), the European Marketing Academy (EMAC) B2B Marketing Special Interest Group, and the Australian & New Zealand Marketing Academy (ANZMAC) B2B Marketing Special Interest Group, will take place in May 2023 at the EMAC Conference in Odense, Denmark! As the name suggests, our goal is to bring together B2B marketing scholars from around the globe to develop ideas that transform research and practice in the B2B research area.


In doing so, we are suggesting a brand-new approach to participating. If you are a B2B scholar or working in a closely related field (e.g., B2B strategy, industrial sales) and are interested in participating, we warmly welcome you to join one of the working groups led by our B2B thought leaders. The group members will work together to develop cutting-edge research ideas over the course of the few months leading up to the conference.

See below for working groups and thought leaders.
