Academy of Marketing Annual Conference 2008

Reflective Marketing
in a Material World

Exhibitors & Sponsors

Venue

Aberdeen Business School Atrium This year’s conference is organised by the Aberdeen Business School, Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen. The Conference Chairs are Professor Bill Donaldson and Andrew Turnbull.

The Conference venue is the Aberdeen Business School, at the Garthdee Campus. This is a stunning light and airy building, designed by Lord Norman Foster, and will provide exhibitors with plenty of space and access to delegates. Refreshments will be served in the exhibition areas. We will provide you with a table and 2 chairs, and will allow you approximately 6 square metres to provide space for your displays. This is a new building and there are only a few stands that will have access to a back wall. Please let me know if this is a requirement when booking. We can provide an electrical connection to the majority of exhibition stands, and wireless internet is available in the exhibition area.

Packages

We have kept our packages in line with 2007, but this year the accommodation is all off campus and not included in the package. The main package will cover:

Tuesday; lunch, refreshments, and social at the Beach Ballroom (transport provided to the city centre)
Wednesday; lunch and refreshments (We regret that numbers for the visit to Crathes Castle on Wednesday evening are restricted, therefore we are not including this trip in your package, however it is possible places will become free once the event has started, please check at the conference desk)

As in previous years, the main conference will commence after lunch on Tuesday 8th July and the academic sessions will end at 1700 approximately on Thursday 10th July.
