The editors of Financial Management (FM), the flagship journal of FMA International, will be apprised by the conference program committee of papers that the committee assesses to be of particularly high-quality. In select cases, the editors will “lightly solicit” papers for submission to FM by offering fast-turnaround, high-quality reviews, waived initial submission fees, and enhanced marketing of papers that are eventually accepted through this submission route. Referees for “lightly-solicited” papers will be made aware that the paper was invited for submission by the editors. While these invitations do not promise eventual publication of papers in FM, the invitations are only offered to a small number of papers each year that the respective FMA conference program committees identify as likeliest to clear the bar for publication in FM without major revisions.
Doctoral Student Consortium on Wednesday, 12 June 2024 
Led by Dr. Michele Lowry, TD Professor of Finance at the LeBow School of Business at Drexel University, the Doctoral Student Consortium includes a panel session with distinguished scholars discussing the latest advances in research and offering career advice.
