The 2016 International Social Marketing Conference which will be hosted by the University of Wollongong, Faculty of Business, on 26-27 September 2016; invites paper submissions for both the academic and industry/practitioner tracks. The theme of the conference is Societal Wellbeing, in line with the recent release by the OECD of guidelines to measure national accounts of wellbeing. With wellbeing as an interdisciplinary construct, combined with an emerging policy agenda, the opportunity now exists for social marketing to be positioned within and add to this important discourse. The theme is both topical, but also diverse enough in nature to assist the linkage of multiple scholars and practitioners.
