FORE School of Management, New Delhi organized FORE International Marketing Conference on the theme ‘Reinventing Marketing for Emerging Markets’ at its campus during 28-30 Nov 2013. 
 
European Institute of Asian Studies (EIAS) was the knowledge and research partner while Indian Merchants’ Chamber (IMC) was the partner chamber for the conference. 
 
The conference started with an inaugural session where the Chief Guest was Dr. Yasho V. Verma, CEO of Onida and other guest of honours were Mr Vipul Sabharwal, VP(Sales & Marketing), Whirlpool, Prof. W.B. Joseph, Emeritus Professor of Marketing, Cleveland State University, USA and Mr. Arvind Pradhan, Director General, IMC. 
 
The Chief Guest gave the message that there is no correlation between customer survey and customer buying behavior and brands are crucial since consumers in emerging markets do not scope for experimentation. 
 
Mr. Vipul Sabharwal talked about the importance of local menu and distribution structures in emerging markets. Prof. W.B .Joseph provided insights into the differences between marketing practices in developed and emerging markets. 
 
Dr. Jitendra K. Das, Director, FORE and the Conference Chair stressed on the idea of focusing on GNP rather than GDP for emerging economies as they have certain advantages in export markets. Mr. Arvind Pradhan focused on the impact of digital technologies on consumer behavior in developing countries.

There was a plenary session on the morning of 29th Nov. and then a panel discussion. In both of these, there was the presence of some of the best known academicians, corporate experts and the delegates from EIAS. The theme of the plenary session was ‘ Emerging vs. Developed Economies: Power Shift’ and the panel discussion as on ‘ The Future of Emerging Markets: Speed Bumps Ahead?’. 
 
Prof. Abhinandan Jain from IIM-Ahmedabad talked about the need for innovating localized solutions. Mr. Axel Goethals, CEO of EIAS, propagated the thought that concepts are sold rather than products. Prof. P Rameshan, Director, IIM-Rohtak stressed that until exuberance is matched with the right efforts, there can be no power shift towards the developing markets. Mr. Erik Famaey, Senior Associate, EIAS, gave the insight that creation of the credit bubble is the biggest speed bump for emerging markets.

Post these sessions, the conference had nine technical sessions spread over 29th and 30th Nov., where academicians, researchers and some corporate executives presented their research work and conceptual papers. 
 
These contributions were under the subthemes like role of social media marketing in emerging markets, green and other societal marketing practices, differences in consumer behavior in the developing world from mature markets, marketing practices in select sectors like banking, telecom and retail and the changing services marketing landscape in the emerging countries with particular reference to India. There were some good and thought provoking ideas which were propagated by the presenters and deliberated upon by the audience.
