- The 48th International Conference on International Business and Marketing is designed as a multidisciplinary forum, and accepted submissions may reflect perspectives from economics, sociology, communication studies, data science, and public policy insofar as they meaningfully engage with international business or marketing questions; the program committee’s thematic groupings are subject to adjustment based on the final mix of accepted contributions.
- Full registration and payment confirmation are required before any delegate’s attendance is considered confirmed; receipt of a submission acceptance notification alone does not constitute a confirmed registration, and the organizing committee reserves the right to remove unregistered participants from the program schedule without prior notice.
- Registered delegates are encouraged to attend the full duration of the conference to maximize scholarly exchange and networking value; however, the organizing committee cannot guarantee access to all specific sessions, as room capacities may be subject to venue-imposed limitations and session assignments may be adjusted at the discretion of the program committee.
