It is with profound sadness that we make the announcement that our IMP compatriot, Ross Brennan passed away at home on Tuesday 29th June aged 64 years old. Many of you will remember his witty and thoughtful contributions to IMP conferences as well as his passion for b2b marketing more generally. We will miss him greatly.

Dear All,
We look forward to welcoming you to our virtual conference in Cork!
We will be sending out reviews this week as we receive them. We would encourage as many authors, co-authors, colleagues and friends to register for our conference as soon as possible to facilitate planning.
Many thanks for your continued support,
The IMP 2021 Team

We invite you to submit papers that re-imagine business-to-business (B2B) marketing in new ways. Here is your opportunity to explore new conceptualizations, new concepts and to step outside of the presumption that managers are simply information processors who optimize business systems.

Björn Axelsson 1948-2021
On April 19, IMP lost one of its most experienced and competent B2B researchers.
Björn presented his PhD thesis The rise and fall of the Wikmanshyttan steel works: A commentary on the approach in a company history study at Uppsala University in 1981. The thesis was a thorough examination of the fundamentals of Interaction Approach that was used to trace the interaction processes that impacted the evolution of a steel company for over a century. Already at that time Björn was an engaged member of the IMP Group, committed to developing the conceptual frameworks that marked the IMP research tradition and resulted in in the book Industrial Networks – A New View of Reality (1992), edited together with Geoff Easton and recently republished as one of ‘Routledge Revivals’.

Does your or a colleague’s PhD thesis build on IMP research and would you or your colleague like to get it published on the IMP website?

Dear all IMP:ers
The deadline for submission of abstracts to the IMP Forum in Uppsala and online has been extended to the 1st of March, 2021. We are hoping that the pandemic situation will allow us to welcome you all to Uppsala, Sweden, in May.
Please note that papers submitted to the IMP conference are welcomed submissions to the IMP Forum. The Forum offers a good opportunity to further develop your conference papers for submission to the IMP Forum special issue in JBIM.

Dear All,
Our abstract system is still open for IMP 2021 in Cork, Ireland. The conference fee will be €275. Looking forward to receiving your abstract(s).
Many thanks for your support.
