The Kellogg Accounting Conference serves as a platform for leading experts and researchers to engage in meaningful discussions and explore cutting-edge developments in the realm of accounting. Our vision for the conference is to foster collaboration and exchange of ideas by inviting select individuals from peer schools in specific regions, on a rotating basis. Our hope is to provide a unique opportunity for attendees to delve into emerging trends, exchange ideas, contribute to the advancement of accounting knowledge and also, enjoy our facilities and campus. This year’s invited region for the Conference is New England and New York. Join us as we discuss the latest research findings, engage in thought-provoking conversations, and shape the future of accounting research together.
