The Colloquium was originally conceived as an ongoing forum for creating new knowledge and circulating viewpoints which challenge established marketing management theory and practices. David Ballantyne the first convenor, had the vision of a Colloquium which went beyond the bounds of a small and friendly conference to one which would expand and sustain a community of researchers, allow sufficient time for dialogue among those researchers, and provide access to academic journals for publishing the Colloquia papers. Networks and dialogue remain essential elements of the Colloquium.
Now in its 18th year, the Colloquium has established a reputation for being the focus of cutting edge thinking about relationship marketing. Despite the growing reputation of the Colloquium, the organisers will limit attendance to about 50 people, in order to preserve depth and dialogue.
Henley Business School is proud to welcome the Colloquium for the 2010 conference.
