About IMMAA
IMMAA (International Media Management Academic Association) is a global 
association of academics researching critical issues of media management 
with the goal of improving practice and understanding of media markets 
and institutions for the ultimate bene?t of media managers and the 
students who will be the media managers of the future. Its diverse 
international membership fosters and promotes an appreciation for the 
di?erences among countries and cultures that contribute to 
characteristics that di?erentiate national media markets and shape 
relationships among them. Past conferences were held in Chicago, San 
Francisco, Saarbrücken, New York, Lisbon, Pamplona, Moscow and Seoul.

While the range of topics addressed at the IMMAA’s 2017 Annual 
Conference in São Paulo may be as broad as the issues that must be 
addressed by managers and policy makers in media markets, the 2017 
conference will focus especially on the implications of disruption in 
media markets for management strategy and educational practice. 
Following is a non-exhaustive list of topics for which IMMAA is 
encouraging submissions.
