Description
About This Conference
The Batten Institute at the University of Virginia Darden School of Business hosted the inaugural annual conference in 2010. As the conference grew in popularity, Darden partnered with the Academy of Management in hosting the 2012 event, which enabled the program to be streamed live to every continent. After that successful event, the Cambridge Judge Business School joined in 2013 as a co-sponsor alongside Darden. Since then, the event has shifted location between the United Kingdom, the United States and Asia. The event was hosted in University of Hong Kong Faculty of Business and Economics in 2017. Recently, National Taiwan University College of Management in Taiwan and the University of Colorado Boulder Leeds School of Business have joined as future co-hosts of the event. The history and previous conference programs can be found at the permanent conference website: www.darden.virginia.edu/entrepreneurship-innovation-research-conference
