ABOUT THE EVENT

Following the success of the seventh conference in 2023, we are pleased to announce that the Eighth Mergers and Acquisitions Research Centre (MARC) Conference will be held at Bayes Business School, City, University of London on Tuesday 18 June 2024, again in cooperation with the European Corporate Governance Institute (ECGI).

The conference organizers invite authors to submit original, theoretical and empirical papers covering issues related to mergers and acquisitions (M&A), including topics such as deal structure from financing to integration, activism, regulatory changes, domestic and cross border transactions and corporate social responsibility among others.

PAPER SUBMISSION: The submission deadline is 19 January 2024 at 10pm GMT (United Kingdom time). There is no submission fee. To be eligible for submission, the paper must still be at a revisable stage (i.e. neither forthcoming nor close to being accepted at a journal) by the date of the conference. Please email a pdf version of your paper to BayesMARC@city.ac.uk. The file name must be: [presenting author’s last name]_[shortened paper title] (for example, Smith_Deal integration.pdf). Please include “MARC2024” in the subject of your email. We expect to notify authors about acceptances by 27 March 2024.

STRUCTURE: Sessions will take place between 8:30am and 5:30pm on Tuesday 18 June 2024 with a keynote speech during lunch and reception following the conference. The conference will be held in-person at Bayes Business School, and all presenters and discussants are expected to attend in-person. The conference dinner for presenters, discussants, and program committee members will be held on Monday 17 June 2024 before the conference opening.
