2020 Asia/Pacific Conference
20 - 22 May 2020 (postponed until 2023)
Nanjing, China
Important update:
We have been closely following developments
regarding the coronavirus situation through the World Health Organization (WHO) and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Due to the uncertainty of this situation, we have decided to postpone the 2020 FMA Asia/Pacific Conference in Nanjing in an abundance of caution. The postponed conference will take place in late Spring-Summer 2021.
While this situation can certainly change in the next few months, we are making this decision now as we know that travel and visa arrangements are often made months in advance.
The program co-chairs will consider all submissions for next year’s conference. If you do not wish to be considered for next year’s conference, please respond to Shannon Tompkins at [email protected] and we will refund your submission fee.
FMA International is pleased to announce its 12th Asia/Pacific Conference at Southeast University in Nanjing, China. FMA’s Asia/Pacific Conference brings together academicians and practitioners with interests in financial decision-making and provides a forum for presenting new research and discussing current issues in financial management and related topics.
Presentations of research papers, panel discussions, tutorials, and exhibits will begin Thursday morning and end Friday afternoon. The Doctoral Student Consortium (by application) will be held on Wednesday.

Travel
Visa Requirements
You will need both a current passport (valid for 6 months or more after entry) and a visa to visit mainland China (unless you are a Chinese citizen).
We recommend that you apply for a tourist visa (L) at least a month or more before your journey. If needed, there are services available to expedite the process and shorten the wait time.
One may apply for a visa at the Chinese Embassy in your capital city or at the nearest Chinese Consulate at your nearest domestic metropolis. Alternatively, many travel agencies will assist you with the visa application and some can submit it on your behalf. For detailed information, please contact your local Embassy, Consulate, or travel agency.
If you wish to apply for a business visa (F) instead of a tourist visa (L), we can issue an official invitation letter to you. To pursue this option, please register for the conference and contact Shannon Tompkins at [email protected] or 1-813-974-2084.
