WELCOME

The University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) in conjunction with the University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign (UIUC) and the University of Wyoming, Laramie, are pleased to present the second:

Subsistence Marketplaces Conference:
Sustainable Consumption and Commerce for a Better World

This conference is designed to promote conversation and inspire collaboration. It will be held at the UIC campus, chosen because of UIC's long-standing tradition of socially-minded research across its many colleges and departments, the vibrancy of its surroundings and its metropolitan, highly accessible setting. The conference is jointly sponsored by UIUC and UW, with its rich multi-disciplinary traditions and pioneering initiatives for product and market development for subsistence marketplaces.

The conference will run from the evening of Friday, June 13 to Sunday, June 15 with keynote addresses on Friday and Saturday as well as concurrent sessions on Sunday. The proposed schedule allows for a dynamic and fast moving conference, along with adequate opportunities for our guests to enjoy the great city of Chicago. Full paper submissions for the conference will be eligible for the review process for a special issue of the Journal of Business Research on Subsistence Marketplaces. Please e-mail one of the conference chairs for more information.
