About IMMAA

IMMAA (International Media Management Academic Association) is the professional grouping of academics worldwide on the subject of media management. The link among them is the desire to develop research and teaching of media management for students, professionals, and researchers. IMMAA’s geographical focus is global rather than regional. It aims to include but go beyond the conference presentation of academic papers in order to create a worldwide community. Academics and leaders will discuss with each other the broader issues of change, disruption, strategy, management, audience understanding, quality content as well as teaching and research. Since its inception, IMMAA has three goals: i) to learn from the past, ii) to engage the future, iii) to benefit from multinational diversity. We also aim to have links of relevance and 2-way data flows with media professionals and policy makers from around the world.

Past conferences were held in Chicago, San Francisco, Saarbrücken, New York, Lisbon, and Pamplona.
