What conferences are the best to attend?
In my experience the best conferences to attend are the following:
- AAA annual meeting (great for connecting with almost everyone).
- AAA section meetings (for me the FARS and International Section meetings have been useful)
- Journal conferences such as:JAE, JAR, JAAF, JBFA, RAST, CAR, etc. This are by invitation so to get invited you may need to submit papers or lobby with some people you know who go to these conferences. Great way to network and get feedback on your research.
International conferences are also very good. The best being the European Accounting Conference (annually) and the IAAER world conferences (every two years).
