My first paper presentation...

I presented my first solo paper as a doctoral student last week in Tampa at the Academy of Marketing Sciences conference. I have to say that the doctoral breakfast was a highlight of the conference. There were many senior marketing faculty there that were ready and willing to lend support and advice, which was so encouraging. My paper presentation Friday morning started out to a small group of the three of us presenting (since it was an 8:30 a.m. session), but concluded with a nice size group that had wandered in. I'm grateful to those professors who attended and provided me with feedback on my paper.
