    Because capacity is limited, submitting an abstract indicates that at least one of the authors will attend the conference, should the abstract be accepted. If you cannot guarantee this for some reason when you submit the abstract, please let us know as it allows us to manage this uncertainty on a personalized basis in the best possible way.<\/p>\n

    FORMA T
    \nThe conference accepts both\u00a0work\u00a0in progress and completed work. All abstracts will be published in a Book of Abstracts in digital format. In addition, participants are stimulated to submit full papers or\u00a0a 6-8\u00a0pages extended abstract. These will be made available in the proceedings, made available on a memory stick. We are not asking for any transfer of copyrights; authors can still submit these papers to journals for publication. Submitted papers automatically qualify for an award competition.<\/p>\n

    As editors of the Journal of Retailing and Consumer Services, we also invite you to submit your full paper for consideration in this journal via the EVISE website. Note that acceptance rates for the journal are lower than for the conference. If accepted, it will be published as a regular submission, giving higher credibility than as a special issue.<\/p>\n

    The conference will start with registration, late afternoon on\u00a0Monday\u00a0July 8th, 2019 followed by a welcome reception. Sessions will start on Tuesday, July 9th, 2019 and continue until noon July 11th. Approximately 20 minutes will be available for presentation of a paper.<\/p>\n

    THE AREA
    \nLonely Planet describes\u00a0Talinn\u00a0as \u201cIt’s lively yet peaceful, absurdly photogenic and bursting with wonderful sights \u2013 ancient churches, medieval streetscapes and noble merchants’ houses. Throw in delightful food and vibrant modern culture and it’s no wonder Tallinn seems in danger of being loved to death, especially after a few cruise ships dock\u201d. Consider a day trip to Helsinki if you have not been there before.<\/p>\n
