Association for Consumer Research

**Our Mission Statement** The Association for Consumer Research (ACR) was founded in 1969 by a small group of consumer behavior researchers whose informal meeting at the Ohio State University led to the vision of a yearly conference devoted to the study of consumer behavior. Today, ACR’s mission is to advance consumer research and facilitate the exchange of scholarly information among members of academia, industry, and government worldwide. One of the key functions of ACR is to facilitate the growth and advancement of the field of consumer research. ACR hosts and supports a number of conferences as well as reviews and publishes scholarly research publications. **Unravelling the Consumer Experience** The Association for Consumer Research (ACR) warmly invites you to engage in a dynamic dialogue exploring the human intricacies of consumer behavior.
