The mission of the TechSIG is to promote professional interaction among academics and professionals who share an interest in marketing high technology products and innovations, and the application of technology in marketing.
The TechSIG serves members who are marketing academics and professionals interested in the confluence of technology and marketing. TechSIG was founded by Gary Lynn and held its first organizational meeting on August 4 at the 1996 Summer Marketing Educators' Conference. Since that time, TechSIG has sponsored panels and sessions at every AMA Educators' Conference. The goals of the group are to share information on: marketing technology-based products (e.g., computers, electronics, biotech); using technology to market any product (e.g., electronic commerce); and using technology to deliver marketing education (e.g., distance learning).
