Waldorf Astoria Las VegasQuestions people ask
5 answeredThe conference is scheduled for December 5–6, 2026.
The 2026 conference takes place at Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas in Las Vegas.
The organizer identifies young scholars, PhD candidates, academic finance professionals, and the program committee among its audience.
It is most useful for academic finance researchers, PhD candidates and young scholars who want feedback on early-stage papers, since the program covers investments, corporate finance, banking and market microstructure, and the average acceptance rate is about 3%. Practitioners seeking networking with industry or products would get less from it, because the format is paper presentation and the listed speakers are academics, while researchers without a paper to present may find little reason to go.
Academic finance conferences usually call for business casual, such as collared shirts and slacks or blouses, even at a luxury hotel like the Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas.
