1. Session timing: 15 minutes will be allowed for each presentation.
2. Presentation equipment: Presentation rooms will be equipped with a laptop and projector screen for PowerPoint presentations (Please note there will not be a transparency projector available.). Be sure to bring your presentation on a flash drive or USB drive.
3. Republishing a Presentation: Authors are free to publish their presentation elsewhere without fear of copyright problems and without permission from the ABRMR. However, conference papers that are selected for and published in our journals are copyrighted by the Journal of Business and Retail Management Research with the copyright given back to the author. We do this because we need to protect ourselves in case the paper has been plagiarized. Papers are only published in our journal with the consent of the author.
4. Abstract-Only Publications: Authors often elect to publish only the abstract of their presentation in the conference proceedings. This effectively gives the author until the conference date to complete the paper. This also means that the author is free to submit the paper to another journal without copyright consequences. This is possible because the paper has never been published elsewhere since only the abstract was published in the proceedings. The ABRMR does not copyright the proceedings, which means that authors are still free to do as they see fit with the paper. Consequently, authors can claim academic credit for a conference presentation, a refereed conference proceedings publication, and possibly a journal publication from one piece of research.
5. CPE Credit: Professionals seeking Continuing Professional Education Credit should contact the conference chair or indicate on the Registration Form that they must receive CPE credit for attending the conference. Necessary paperwork is required and will be available at the conference registration desk.

PARIS

The capital of France is a city of contrasts, a place of striking architecture and fine cuisine as well an ethnic underclass that is the legacy of French colonialism.  A city of grandiose avenues and haute couture, Paris has long been a favoured haunt of artists and writers. It is home to some of Europe’s most respected academic institutions, as well as the likes of the  European Space Agency, OECD and UNESCO.

Paris has a sophisticated ambience and makes for an excellent environment in which to spend time in stimulating company engaging in intellectual debate and the exchanging ideas.
