You could see hundreds of them trying to find their way to the sessions, meeting colleagues and friends, discussing research projects in front of a nice cup of Italian espresso or cappuccino\u2026 such a thrilling atmosphere!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 640px; height: 427px;\" src=\"\/system\/files\/u316\/ipp-312.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s conference established a few records: about 1700 delegates from all over the world, 1089 papers presented at the congress, over 100 papers with discussion. On top of this, we celebrated the 40<sup>th<\/sup> anniversary of the Association! These achievements are certainly a nice reward for all of us who \u2013 as members of the Local Organizing Committee &#8211; have been working on this conference for over three years. But the greatest reward has been seeing so many academics enjoying their time at the Conference. You can watch the videos of the\u00a0<a href=\"\/portfolio\/2018-eaa-phd-forum-videos\">PhD Forum<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0<a href=\"\/portfolio\/2018-eaa-symposia-videos\">Symposia<\/a>\u00a0in the ARC repository!<\/p>\n<p>Let us be frank\u2026participating to conferences is one of the nicest parts of the academic life. What can be better than meeting people with whom you share same research interests, having stimulating discussions with them, devising paths for joint research while, at the same time, getting to know new places and new cultures? We, the Local Organizing Committee, did our best to organize a conference where all this could easily happen. And we can proudly say that we did it!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 640px; height: 427px;\" src=\"\/system\/files\/u316\/ipp-582.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We have also tried to stimulate new ideas and open-up new research venues by introducing emerging topics, such as block chain, accounting and big data, integrated reporting, real implications of accounting information and more, while at the same time preserving that diversity that is part of the European Accounting Association\u2019s DNA.<\/p>\n<p>With a wonderful music performance and a unique gala buffet made of street food, drinks and several regional Italian specialties, we have concluded an amazing experience. It is time to say a few \u2018thanks\u2019 to those who made all this possible. First, thanks to all the colleagues and friends of the LOC, who are the living proof of how great and successful team-work can be. Second, thanks to Bocconi University, for hosting the conference and supporting us with its super-professional staff. Finally, thanks to the European Accounting Association for trusting and supporting us and, of course, a huge \u2018thank you\u2019 to Nicole Coopman for her invaluable help.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s about time to look forward\u2026.Cyprus is just around the corner. <em>Arrivederci<\/em> at another amazing conference.
