The Service Special Interest Group (SERVSIG) of the American Marketing Association is pleased to announce the 32nd SERVSIG Doctoral Consortium, preceding the Frontiers in Service Conference, hosted by Hanken School of Economics on June 28 (Evening Welcome Reception) and June 29 (full day program).
The Doctoral Consortsium is chaired by Sabine Benoit and Paul W. Fombelle
The consortium is designed to help doctoral students and new faculty succeed in their careers. By promoting an intimate and collegial atmosphere, the consortium allows participants to interact with leading service scholars.
We invite Ph.D. students at all levels and early career-stage faculty to register and participate.
Participation in the Doctoral Consortium requires prior registration for the Frontiers in Service Conference. When you register for the conference as a doctoral student, you will have the option to add the Doctoral Consortium for an additional fee of 100€. Please note that the number of participants is limited and seats will be filled on a first-come-first-serve basis.
