This Eighth Annual Darden International Finance Conference seeks to highlight the effects of major players on global business decisions, including capital raising, capital allocation, and public policy. As always, a principal goal is to bring together top academic research and influential practitioners to share insights and exchange views on current issues of importance. The conference will comprise two related events – an event in the United States and an event in Singapore. Authors may submit to one or both events. The events will have the same theme and similar programs, though the Singapore event will place more emphasis on Asia through the inclusion of regional speakers and panels.
