2010 European Conference of the Association for Consumer Research

Programme Structure: There will be six main forums for the presenting and discussing research and scholarly thought. - Special Topic Sessions provide opportunities for focused attention on cutting-edge and important topics. Successful sessions offer a coherent perspective on emerging substantive, theoretical, or methodological issues. - Competitive Paper Sessions include papers that represent the completed work of their authors. The EACR conference co-chairs will assign accepted papers to sessions that reflect similar scholarly interests. - Working Paper Track: Participants typically present preliminary findings from the early stages of a research programme. Authors distribute their papers and display their findings poster-style in a plenary session. - Roundtables: Encourage intensive participant discussion of consumer research topics and issues. - Film Festival: Enables scholars to present their videographies on consumption-related topics at the conference. - Doctoral Consortium: Forum for doctoral students to receive guidance on their dissertations from an expert panel.
