Dear Colleague,

Welcome to the 2025 Global Marketing Conference, which is taking place in rapidly-changing Hong Kong.

Hong Kong is a long-standing business hub, and the nation of China is a growing economic force. The biennial GMC is stamping itself as perhaps the preeminent meeting place for marketing scholars in the Asian region, as well as including an estimated 50 countries from around the world. Co-sponsored by major international marketing organizations such as the American Marketing Association (AMA), the European Marketing Academy (EMAC), the Australia New Zealand Marketing Academy (ANZMAC), as well as several Asian marketing organizations, GMC is truly an international meeting of marketing minds.

Thanks to the organizational genius of Professors Kim and Ko and the GAMMA organization, we can anticipate yet another flawless conference, with intellectual stimulation and global camaraderie.

Sincerely,

Roland T. Rust, Ph.D.

Conference Co-Chair of 2025 Global Marketing Conference at Hong Kong
