*Third Annual Entrepreneurial Marketing Doctoral Colloquium
*August 5-7, 2009

University of Illinois at Chicago
UIC/MEIG Marketing and Entrepreneurship Research Interface Symposium

Entrepreneurial marketing topics are rarely integrated in mainstream
marketing doctoral coursework and readings.  In 2007, the UIC Institute
for Entrepreneurial Studies, E.M. Kauffman Foundation, and American
Marketing Association's Marketing-Entrepreneurship SIG invited doctoral
students from around the world who were studying marketing and
entrepreneurship to attend the UIC Symposium on the Marketing
Entrepreneurship Research Interface.  Over a dozen doctoral students, many
from outside the United States, attended the Symposium held at George
Washington University. The success of this event encouraged the Symposium
organizers to develop and integrate a special colloquium for the doctoral
students at the 2008 Symposium, with a special focus on "International
Marketing Entrepreneurship," coordinated by the Swedish Business School at
Örebro University.  The 2008 Colloquium was extremely successful, leading
to a 2009 colloquium.

The Kauffman Foundation and the Marketing and Entrepreneurship SIG invites
doctoral students and new assistant professors to gather and discuss
emerging issues in the area, just prior to the American Marketing
Association Summer Educators' Meeting. This second Colloquium will be held
at the University of Illinois at Chicago.  International scholars will be
invited to address various issues of relevance to young researchers.
These presentations will be held in the opening afternoon of the Annual
UIC Marketing and Entrepreneurship Research Symposium, and integrated with
the rest of the Symposium program.

Doctoral students and new assistant professors are invited to this
Colloquium.  Fellows will be provided complimentary admission to the
Symposium, all Symposium meals, and a small stipend to offset a portion of
their airline/hotel expenses.
