    TOPICS

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. Topics that the conference encourages to exchange and discuss include (but are not limited to):

    • Managing human experience as a marketing capability   
    • Branding in a hyperconnected world
    • Hyperconnected consumer behavior
    • Experiential marketing and digital customer experiences
    • Business models, Digital Marketing models in a hyperconnected world
    • The dark sides of hyperconnectivity
    • Immersive technology and marketing
