The International Finance Society is excited to host its inaugural conference in Hong Kong on June 3rd–4th, 2025, with a welcome reception on the evening of June 2nd held alongside a PhD poster session.

The conference aims to foster stimulating discussions and facilitate the exchange of cutting-edge research across all areas of international finance. By bringing together leading researchers, policymakers, and market participants, we strive to create a collaborative and engaging atmosphere.

​

The conference will serve as a platform for the presentation of new and innovative research in all areas of international finance, with particular focus on work not yet presented at conferences like the AFA, EFA, or WFA. This focus on fresh perspectives is designed to inspire dynamic discussions and promote active engagement among attendees.

​

We particularly encourage submissions from early-career researchers, recognizing the valuable insights and contributions young scholars bring to the field. The intimate size of the conference will allow in-depth discussions and meaningful interactions, providing unique opportunities for networking and collaboration. Presenting work in progress is especially encouraged, as it often leads to more engaging and productive conversations.

​

Submission
We welcome papers in all areas of international finance. Submissions (PDF format only) should be emailed to submit@internationalfinancesociety.com. Papers should be well-developed, but at a stage where they can benefit from group discussions.

​

• Submission Deadline: February 28, 2025

• Notification of Acceptance: End of March 2025

• Submission Fee: None

​

We look forward to receiving your submissions and to an engaging conference.
