We seek scholars interested in hosting the TCR 2027 conference. The deadline for expressions of interest is December 20. Please send your letter to TCR advisory chair, Martin Mende (Martin.Mende@asu.edu) by this date.
Transformative Consumer Research (TCR) is a movement that seeks to encourage, support, and disseminate research that contributes to the well-being of consumers, environments, and societies across the world. For more information about TCR please click HERE.
As we approach TCR’s 20th anniversary in 2025, we continue to accelerate timely, rigorous, and practical insights on a diversity of well-being topics, using interdisciplinary approaches, and methods rooted in consumer behavior, marketing, and the social sciences to positively impact society. We seek scholars interested in hosting the TCR 2027 conference. Our dialogical conference is a unique space where groups of researchers and stakeholders who share commitments to social issues come together to engage in democratic dialogue and collaborate on research.
Previous hosts include an esteemed group of scholars, colleges, and universities. These hosts have not only made a significant contribution to the TCR movement but also have benefited from the conference’s ability to galvanize university stakeholders and regional scholars to accelerate impactful research, teaching, and service.
Who can host and co-chair?
We invite expressions of interest from academic institutions that share our values and goals and are committed to organizing this important event. This requires a venue that can support about 300 researchers and practitioners in 40 track breakout rooms. We are also seeking enthusiastic and dedicated teams of academics to serve as co-chairs for the conference.
We will review expressions of interest with an eye toward enlisting co-chairs who have TCR experience and understand its successful model, universities that can support the dialogical conference format, innovative conference ideas, and good locales for international travelers. We will then ask a very small number of best host candidates to submit full proposals.

· American University (2025)

· Cornell University (2017)
