48^th EFA Annual Meeting 2021 is over!

Thank you to all everyone who attended, participated and supported the 48th Annual Meeting - it was a great success with more thzn 1,200 participants.

EFA 2021 was organized by Bocconi University and was held online between August 25–27, 2021. Elena Carletti was the Program Chair. The EFA 2021 conference followed a virtual format. We regret that we were unable to see you in person at the Bocconi University - due to the high uncertainty concerning the evolution of the pandemic and the need to decide in advance for organisational purposes, we had no other choice than to host the conference in a safe and accessible virtual environment.

More information concerning the program is available. efa2021.efa-meetings.org.

Please keep in touch via Twitter and LinkedIn and look forward to seeing you at #EFA2022 with IESE in Barcelona in August 2022.
