NZOZ Political marketing and management mini conference

NZ-OZ Political Marketing and Management Mini conference

Saturday 31 August 2013

Auckland University, New Zealand

Organised by Associate Professor Jennifer Lees-Marshment (Auckland University)

Assisted by conference assistants Lisa Kemp, Rachael Crosby, Renisa Maki and Tom Seeman

The first event attracted 20 academics and research students from Australia and New Zealand, with 4 panels of presentations. The programme can be seen below. Furthermore, interest has generated enthusiasm for repeating the event and there is already a planned event for 2014.

2014 conference: 17/18 July, Sydney Australia

Australian academics have taken on hosting  the second conference in 2014 at The University of Sydney. Jennifer Rayner who is a PhD student at ANU and Stephen Mills a lecturer at the University of Sydney, have secured agreement to host a conference on political marketing and campaign management at the University of Sydney in 2014. Jennifer and Stephen will co-chair the event. The desire will very much be to include as broad a range of papers related to political marketing and management as possible – so for example work on government marketing will still be relevant. Contact the co-chairs of the conference for further detail: Stephen Mills: stephen.mills@sydney.edu.au and Jennifer Rayner: jennifer.rayner@anu.edu.au

The 2015 conference will be hosted by the School of Marketing at Victoria University in Wellington, New Zealand
