7th Future of Financial Information Conference
The Future of Financial Information Conference is the only conference to look across all areas of finance through the lens information. From satellite images to natural language processing, the way investors source, process and trade on information is constantly evolving. The aim of this conference is to understand the ever-changing nature of financial information and its consequences for market efficiency.
We welcome all theoretical and empirical papers exploring new and perhaps unexpected sources of information, as well as developing novel tools to turn raw data into value-relevant insights. Skeptical takes, highlighting the trade-offs involved in the use of big data, machine learning algorithms and the continuing hardening of information are also welcome.
The 7th edition will take place at INSEAD on 12-13 May 2025 with Laura Veldkamp (CBS) and Alexander Ljungqvist (SSE) as keynote speakers.
Submission deadline is 19 November 2024 at 23:59 PST.
