  • Join the EAA Annual Congress Host Programme

                         

    Join the EAA Annual Congress Host Programme

     

    At this year’s congress at LUISS in Rome, the EAA Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee (DEIC) will launch the EAA Annual Congress Host Programme to support first-time attendees. Due to its size, the congress can sometimes be a difficult place to introduce members to each other, especially when they are new to the EAA community. The aim of this initiative is to enable new participants to meet colleagues who are regular attendees to enhance engagement in the EAA academic accounting community.

     

    The main idea is that EAA Hosts initiate conversations with Attendees by email before the congress and arrange to meet at the conference venue. This will normally be at the Wednesday Welcome Reception, where a dedicated space will be set aside for participants meet over drinks and refreshments. In addition, we encourage Hosts and Attendees to meet elsewhere during the congress, such as in parallel sessions, symposia, and other social events.

     

    Based on the EAA Annual Congress Programme, available online and via the congress app, Hosts may also recommend sessions and events for Attendees to join. The idea is for Hosts to share their knowledge and experience to ensure Attendees get the most out of their first Annual Congress. Hosts will not wear a cape, but you will recognize them by their warm welcome and engaging conversation!

     

    Hosts should also introduce Attendees to other colleagues, helping early career researchers and those who are new to the EAA community develop their own network. Ideally, Hosts will attend Attendees’ presentations and, after the congress, offer to stay in touch.

     

    Interested in being a Host? If you have attended at least two EAA Annual Congresses, and would like to support a new EAA congress Attendee, please complete the Host application form .

     

    Are you a first-time Attendee at this year’s EAA Annual Congress in Rome? If you would appreciate some guidance and conversation from an experienced EAA member, please complete the Attendee Application form.

     

    Please submit your application no later than May 1st at 11:59 pm CET.

     

    Please contact us if you have any questions about the EAA DEIC Host Programme.

     

    FAQs

    How many Attendees will be assigned to each Host?
    Each Host will be matched with 1-2 Attendees. The DEIC will match new members with volunteer Hosts on a first-come, first-served basis, so please register early.

     

    How are Hosts matched with Attendees?
    We aim to match Attendees with Hosts who have similar teaching or research areas. We will also consider arrival times, so please make sure to provide any relevant details to help with matching.

     

    How will I receive contact information?
    We will notify you once the matching process has been completed. The DEIC will email both Hosts and Attendees with names and contact information.

     

    Who qualifies as an Attendee?
    Anyone attending their first EAA Annual Congress.

     

    Missed connections?
    Even with the best intentions, plans can sometimes go awry. If you are having trouble connecting at the congress, please visit the Registration area. There will be a QR code that you can scan and start exchanging messages with Host or Attendee.
