TOPICS
MICA-2024 would like to invite scholars and practitioners to provide insights into how marketing could find meaning in a hyperconnected world.

While the hyperconnected world presents marketers with unprecedented opportunities to connect with customers, it has inadvertently created new challenges such as data privacy, social isolation, cyber-security, and well-being deficit. The MICA-2024 conference invites submissions (English only) that discuss the state of marketing in a hyperconnected world as well as its responsibilities to create genuine human connections and sustainable value for customers, firms, and society as a whole.
