About the Workshop

This one-day workshop aims to bring together LBS PhD Alumni back to London. Like last time, we will have Finance, Accounting, and Economics papers running over two parallel tracks.

The first two editions were a great success, with more than 20 participants, including 20 Alumni, current PhD students, and faculty! Here are the past programs: 2019, 2022, and 2024. A few pictures from 2019.

We hope the workshop provides an excellent chance to catch up with old friends, remember the good (and bad) times, and get together with current LBS PhD students and faculty.

Current LBS PhD candidates can submit and attend for free. We always have 2-3 slots for current PhD students going into the job market.
