Harokopio University
August 26, 2017 – August 27, 2017
The 2nd Taste of City Conference 2017: Food and Place Marketing is a multidisciplinary symposium focusing on the role and impact of food in marketing and branding of places. Food and tastes are transferred and transported along the routes of mobility, tourism and connectedness in the era of fast communications and travel.
The 2nd Taste of City Conference 2017 is an academic research conference with a focus on understanding the dynamics and role of food play in place branding, city image and marketing. This unique event aims to bring together researchers, scholars and practitioners to explore the ways in which food and places are marketed in an interconnected fashion.
The Conference aims at offering a venue for debates and discussions on place and food marketing and dynamic nature of city and country branding and marketing. We encourage participation of marketing scholars, students, practitioners as well as others from cognate disciplines of Business and Management and wider Social Sciences. This event is designed for exchanging ideas to understand the impact and role of food and to develop appropriate strategies for cities and places in an ever more connected world characterised with mobility and connectedness.
