Abstract

As co-chairs of the 21st Paul D. Converse Marketing Symposium, we are honored to introduce the groundbreaking contributions of the 2024 Converse Award recipients, Dr. Jennifer Aaker from Stanford University and Dr. Greg Allenby from Ohio State University. The Converse Award, one of the highest honors in the marketing discipline, celebrates exceptional research that significantly advances marketing science. Dr. Aaker’s pioneering work on the psychology of happiness and meaningfulness and Dr. Allenby’s influential advancements in Bayesian methods for marketing data analysis are exemplary milestones in our field. This preface provides an overview of their significant contributions and underscores the historical significance and enduring legacy of the Converse Award and Symposium, hosted by the marketing area at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. We highlight the symposium’s role in fostering a collaborative environment for enriching discussions that shape the future of marketing. Furthermore, we emphasize the University of Illinois commitment to advancing the field through rigorous scholarship and interdisciplinary collaboration. By honoring distinguished scholars like Aaker and Allenby, the Paul D. Converse Symposium continues to propel marketing science forward, ensuring its relevance and responsiveness to the evolving needs of academia and industry.
