Get Ready for 2020 Winter AMA and DocSIG Events!
| DocSIG Members, Please join DocSIG at the upcoming 2020 Winter AMA Conference in San Diego, CA. We have FIVE (5) exciting events at this year’s conference. If you’re interested in joining us, please remember to sign up for the events that require an RSVP. Spots are limited for Friday and Saturday night events, so please reserve your spot ASAP. |
| Event 1: DocSIG Dinner – Pay your own way Friday, February 14, 2020, from 7:00-9:00pm (Location: Puesto at the Headquarters, 789 W. Harbor Dr. #155, San Diego, CA) Come network with fellow doctoral students on Friday night! Though you have to pay for your own food and beverages, this is a great opportunity to meet students that are going through the same process you are. This is the perfect time to get your questions answered by senior students, share stories, and meet some great people. You do NOT have to be a DocSIG member to join in on the fun. Please note: This event is for the first 12 people who sign up! Securing a table at a restaurant in San Diego for more than 12 people was basically impossible due to the fact that it’s Valentine’s Day. We will meet in the lobby of the conference hotel at 6:45pm and walk over to the restaurant together. Please note that we will not be able to accommodate anyone beyond the 12 registered students. Please reserve your FREE ticket for the dinner through the following link: https://tinyurl.com/uf7x8d5 |
| Event 2: Mentor Networking Breakfast Saturday, February 15, 2020, from 7:00-8:15am (Location: InterContinental San Diego, 901 Bayfront Ct., Room: TBA) Take advantage of the opportunity to network with 20+ faculty members from around the world! At this event, you can receive advice about research, job market preparation, and life as a professor. This breakfast is an invaluable way to network with faculty in a relaxed atmosphere. Faculty mentors are from all research areas and are at various stages of their careers. The breakfast will be held at the conference hotel, and the room information will be sent out shortly. We have set up an Eventbrite page for you to sign up and secure your spot for the breakfast. We will also update the Eventbrite page when we know the room location. The first 65 students to register will get tickets, so please reserve your FREE ticket for the event through the following link: https://tinyurl.com/DocSIG-breakfast |
| Event 3: Special Session – The Academic Contribution Explained Saturday, February 15, 2020 from 3:30-4:45pm (Location: Pacific Ballroom A on 2nd Floor) Chairs: Jennifer Locander, University of Mississippi Breanne Mertz, Louisiana Tech University Panelists: V. Kumar, Georgia State University Daniel Ladik, Seton Hall University William Locander, Louisiana Tech University Christine Moorman, Duke University David Stewart, Loyola Marymount University From start to finish, conceptualizing, constructing, and submitting academic research is a challenging progression that all academics experience in the publication process. In this session, we will discuss the three phases of the manuscript creation process, organized around the following three themes: 1) Where do good research ideas from, and how do I know it’s a good idea when I see it? 2) When constructing the manuscript, how do I articulate the contribution to the body of knowledge? 3) After submitting the manuscript for review, how do I properly address the feedback from the editor and the reviewers? This session is organized and sponsored by the Doctoral Student Special Interest Group (DocSIG). The main purpose of this session is to aid doctoral students and young assistant professors in the publication process. The session contains a panel of experienced academics who have also been the editors of top-tier marketing publications. The session is structured to allow ample questions from the audience, and audience participants are encouraged to ask specific questions about their manuscript-related pain points. This is one session you do NOT want to miss!! Registration is not required to attend this session. |
| Event 4: DocSIG-Sales SIG Joint Reception Saturday, February 15, 2020, from 5:00-6:00pm (Room: TBA) Come network with professors and fellow students after presentations are complete for the day!
