What is the AMA Marketing and Public Policy Conference 2026?
Around the world, marketing scholars, policymakers and societal decision makers are grappling with complex, interdependent challenges – from climate change and health inequities to data privacy and financial inclusion. These issues cross national, disciplinary and institutional borders and addressing them requires a collective, boundary-spanning approach. Recognizing and challenging these boundaries is essential to fostering more inclusive, innovative and impactful research. By deliberately looking beyond these boundaries – both literal and figurative – we can discover alternative approaches and draw on examples of research, collaborations and policies that meaningfully improve the well-being of individuals, businesses, societies and the planet.
