2026 AMA-Sheth Doctoral Consortium

The AMA-Sheth Foundation Doctoral Consortium is the premiere consortium in the marketing discipline. The 2026 event will be hosted at Gabelli School of Business, Fordham University in New York on June 11–14, 2026. This unique event brings together the best doctoral students from business schools in the United States, Canada, Europe, and the rest of the world. It is the only consortium that exposes doctoral students to the rich diversity of topics, methodological perspectives, and theories that exist within the marketing discipline. This experience is designed to spark creativity and insight by challenging students to think outside their existing paradigms and broaden their views on what constitutes good research. Additionally, the consortium's focus is to help students successfully transition to their first faculty position by providing guidance on research, teaching, and service. Faculty scholars are selected who have made important contributions to the field and who are dedicated to helping doctoral students establish professional linkages among themselves and with faculty. The consortium also aims to cultivate a collegial network among faculty and doctoral candidates, encourage meaningful research, expose students to various viewpoints, and engage them in building a marketing career.
