We solicit submission of empirical and theoretical papers in all areas of finance. We are especially interested in completed papers that have not yet been presented at major conferences. The conference has historically included very strong papers and was recently ranked first among all conferences for percentage of papers published in a top 3 finance journal.
The conference registration fee of $250 covers two breakfasts, two lunches, and two dinners, plus coffee and snacks during the breaks. Registration fees will be waived for both the presenter and the discussant for conference papers.
