Virtual Conference
Greetings from IIM Calcutta and Stern Business School, NYU!
Stern has active research collaboration with IIMC for many years in the area of Finance and organizes an annual Finance research conference. In 2020, we decided to have a Marketing conference (as part of the finance conference) and it was quite successful. In 2022, we would like to initiate an IIM Calcutta - Stern NYU Marketing Conference.
The first edition will be conducted as a virtual conference and coordinated by IIM Calcutta. In the first edition, we want to restrict the conference to the three IIMS (A, B and C) and Stern Business School.
