EMAC is a large community with only limited specialization. However, with more specialization in our field, we observe a growing need to specialize and form smaller sub-communities in specific fields. We already observe that in the Spring conference, where specific special sessions are organized around specific topics.
This has led to the organization of EMAC Special Interest Groups (SIGs) that specialize in specific subfields of marketing, and aim to enhance and disseminate knowlege and state-of-the-art research, as well as spark debate over the latest trends. EMAC SIGs have gone beyond organizing special sessions at EMAC conferences, and now organize year-round webinars for our members.
