The article discusses the highlights of the 2004 Micro-37 conference in the United States. The main thing that any conference must get right is the paper selection process. The issue is addressed by organizing committees that are in charge of issuing the call for papers and receiving enough submissions to make the event worth holding. Furthermore, it is also recognized that the most important aspect of the conference is its finances for events after the formal presentations that needed the expertise of someone with retail experience to plan the markdowns. Overall, the Micro-37 had a favorable outcome and the organizing committee got many thanks and congratulations for the after-dinner entertainment and activities it provided.
