 are pleased to announce their twelfth annual conference:

Managing in a Low-Growth World

April 4 -5, 2013
The Darden School of Business
Charlottesville, Virginia

Conference attendance is open to invited guests only.

This 12th annual Darden International Finance Conference seeks to address international issues regarding managing in a low-growth world. We expect both corporate finance and investments papers to be on the final program. Investing in a world of debt and deficit, understanding the implications of impending financial regulations and effectively continuing to innovate in the financial markets are important challenges that investors and firms are facing around the world.


During this time, we are conducting a CALL FOR PAPERS. The deadline for submitting a paper for consideration is NOVEMBER 16, 2012. All papers must be submitted electronically through this website. Important information regarding the submission process and conference details can be found in the Call for Papers document (pdf). The committee will review the submissions and notify candidates of acceptance by January 15, 2013.
