This conference will be divided into two parts. First, drawing on their editorial experience in JWB, JIBS and IBR, three keynote speakers will provide an in-depth overview of how the field of international business is developing. They will highlight certain opportunities that can serve as fruitful avenues for future research, but they will also discuss what challenges we should overcome to advance current thinking in international business. 

In the second part of the conference, a number of selected participants will have the opportunity to give short presentations on exciting and interesting new ideas that have the potential to create new research trajectories in international business.

The conference is sponsored by the University of international Business and Economics and there is no registration fee. To participate at the conference, please submit a short summary of your research idea (no longer than a page) as well as your name and affiliation to Dr Wei Zheng (zhengwei@uibe.edu.cn).
