We invite authors to submit papers to our research symposium, a lively forum for the exchange of ideas among scholars interested in technology entrepreneurship. The 2023 conference will be held at the University of Washington in Seattle.

Papers focusing on entrepreneurship and innovation in technology-based settings will be given preference. In addition to our broad focus on technology entrepreneurship, for 2023 we especially encourage submissions from authors examining contemporary dynamics related to artificial intelligence, algorithms, and machine learning. We are open to a wide variety of perspectives on these topics, and how entrepreneurship relates to both the sources and consequences of these new technologies.

We expect to host an intimate conference of 50+ leading scholars from around the world. The conference steering committee invites the submission of unpublished working papers that advance the state of knowledge on technology entrepreneurship

We hope to see you at the University of Washington in September!
