Theme: “Marketing, Public Policy, and Moral Courage in a Diverse, Rapidly Changing World”
The AMA Marketing and Public Policy Conference (MPPC) is the premier international event for marketing academics, public policy makers and marketing practitioners interested in social and public policy.
Our motivation in selecting this theme is to encourage research and dialog on the contributions of marketing for addressing social issues that involve diverse perspectives and interests in a dynamic, rapidly changing environment. We hope to provide an open forum for productive discussion and debate representing a variety of viewpoints and ideologies. We are interested in research that will make an impact on these pressing social issues via theoretical development or pragmatic application.
MPPC is Going Virtual
The 2020 AMA Marketing and Public Policy Conference is going to be a virtual event due to the rapid developments regarding COVID-19. Join us for concurrent presentations, networking and an online poster discussion forum. Access codes for the conference will be emailed to registrants the week of the conference.
Agenda
The full agenda for the 2020 AMA Marketing and Public Policy Conference is now live on Ex Ordo. Some sessions have moved, so please review all dates and times carefully. All times are listed in CST (Chicago) time.

Ronald O. Loveridge
Director, UCR Center for Sustainable Suburban Development, Former Mayor of the City of RiversideRonald O. Loveridge has 33 years of public service – as a Riverside Council member beginning in 1979 and as Mayor from 1994 to 2012. He is a highly regarded regional, state and national leader. At the national level, he was very involved on the Executive Committee and Board of the National League of Cities, making policy calls and decisions on behalf of some 19,000 cities and towns across the nation. He also served as President of the National League of Cities in 2010. Mayor Loveridge is a member of the National Academy of Public Policy. His statewide and regional service has included board roles on the broadest array of important organizations: the California Air Resources Board, California Forward Action Fund, California Competes, South Coast Air Quality Management District, Southern California Association of Governments, Western Riverside Council of Governments and Inland Empire Economic Partnership.
During his tenure as mayor of the City of Riverside he led a transformative renaissance of the city and guided the city through the great recession, which had an especially severe impact on the Riverside community. His efforts led to Riverside being named the Most Intelligent Community of the Year by the Intelligent Community Forum in 2012 (Robert A. Bell, John G. Jung, and Louis A. Zacharilla. 2012. Seizing Our Destiny. New York: Intelligent Community Forum).
A Stanford doctoral graduate, Mayor Loveridge teaches an extremely popular political science course at the University of California, Riverside. Loveridge’s research investigates urban politics and public policy, particularly environmental policy. He is the author of City Managers in Legislative Politics (Bobbs-Merrill, 1971). His research has appeared in Polity, Environment and Behavior, California Air Environment, and Cry California, as well as several edited volumes.
