The American Marketing Association’s Service Special Interest Group (SERVSIG), the INFORMS Society for Marketing Science, the EMAC Service Special Interest Group, and the University of Maryland’s Center for Excellence in Service welcome proposals to host the 35th and 37th Annual Frontiers in Service Conferences in 2027 and 2029.
At this point we just need an initial expression of interest.
A more detailed proposal may be solicited later from a select group of applicants.
The conferences will likely be held in Summer, although there is some flexibility as to timing. The conference has been held in many different countries around the world, but we anticipate that the 2027 and 2029 conferences will be held in North America.
The Frontiers Conference is the world’s leading annual service research conference, and annually draws 200-400 attendees from 30-40 countries.
The conference draws a lively mix of academics and practitioners, from a variety of backgrounds and functional disciplines.
The conference also typically has corporate and/or governmental speakers and sponsors–e.g., many (if not most) featured keynote talks are by practitioners.
To express interest or to get more information about hosting the 2027 or 2029 conference, please contact Roland Rust at rrust@umd.edu.
We would like to receive initial expressions of interest by July 15.
