Conference Content The conference focus was on current developments in the practiceand teaching of advertising. Its content provided broad coverage within the overall theme. Major areas treated included adVertising and society; operating areas of advertising, e.g., management, media,creative; production, *( and research; ant teaching and research issues inadvertising education. The purpose of the conference was to bring insights into these current developmentsto the,advertising educator community. It was addressed to all advertising educators-- whether their teaching be undergraduate or graduate, and whether t r orientation be communications, journalism, or marketing management. These Papers The papers themselves are divided into those presented byeducators and those by non-educators. The latter comprinthe first section of thesepro- ceedings. They include perspectives on advertising.regulation, viewsof trends in advertiser management and agency service,4 review of media procedures, analyses of the employment and placement situation, andan overview of "adVer- tising's next generation." These non-educators' papers come from both adver- tising agency and advertiser executives, and also froma government representa- tive. The educators' papers are subdiviled into two categories--research papers and papers related to the teaching of advertising. The first group (research papers) deal mostly withconsumer behavior impacts of, and inputs to, advertising. The second group reflects a wide range of developments in pedagogical approaches and methodolpgy. As with any proceedings from a conference of thistype, not all the conference sessions -,and speakers are represented. The complete program of the conference (which accompanies this introductory material)reflects the wide coverage of current deVelopments in the practiceand teaching of -advertising. Special Conference Context Theconferenceconstituted the annual meeting of the American Acade 'of Advertising, he national association of teachers of advertising. The, meeting, in conjunction with host school Arizona StateUniversity, was alOo co-sponsored by the American Association of AdvertisingAgencies' Educational Foundation. The Foundation cooperated in the planning of the conference,in helping to arrange for induStry spep.kers, and_in providingfinancial support for the meetings. The conference built upon the success of the Foundation's 1971 conference for advertising educators at the Universityof Illinois. & Thus the conference was special in several ways. First, its content reached beyond the usual re- search and teaching-oriented material that tradi-' tion acterizes .Acader*- meetings. ;While the conferehce was addressed _ to an Scade c audience, much of its content came from industry representa- tives. Seco d, in order to accommodate the material on current developments, as well as s e research and curricular sessions, the meetings were a full,day longer than the usual Academy meetings. Finally, the conference was the prod- uct of a Joint effort on thepart of industry and the academic community. Auspices and Sponsors The American Association of Advertising Agencies' Educational Foundation was established in 1967 to encourage closer cooperation between the, advertising industry and advertising education and research. It has provided extensive support of professorial research involving doctoral candidates in advertising, marketing communications, and consumer behavior. The Foundation's grants pro - gram -has supported the research efforts of some 28 faculty members, wor ing with .,624 doctoral candidates at 22 school's.
