The 16th International Conference on Research in Advertising (ICORIA) 2017 will be held in Ghent, Belgium.
This year’s conference will focus on an emerging and challenging topic “Power to the consumers: how content becomes the message”. We address challenges and opportunities in research and management related to new advertising and consumer practices in a converging media society.
The ICORIA 2017 is set to take place at the Faculty of Political and Social Sciences of Ghent University. The conference will begin on June 29th, 2017 with the 4th Doctoral Colloquium and a welcome reception, and finish on Saturday, July 1, 2017.
Looking back at the 16th ICORIA in Ghent
At the start of the summer, the majority of the advertising research community gathered in Belgium to enjoy this year’s ICORIA conference. More than 160 participants from about 30 countries participated in 33 sessions. The conference took place in the historical scenery of Ghent, where the conference chairs Veroline Cauberghe and Liselot Hudders, and their organizing team, Emma Beuckels, Marijke De Veirman, Laura Herrewijn and Dieneke Van de Sompel gave the participants a taste of the authentic city, its fine cuisine, nice weather (at least in Belgian terms) and provided a warm atmosphere.
