    Hi Colleagues:

    One of the initiatives that we've been working on in the Entrepreneurship (ENT) Division is an "exemplars conference" to get editors and recent authors together from the main journals that publish ENT research, and to discuss the "how-tos" of research excellence: publishing in those journals (e.g., AMR, AMJ, ET&P, JAP, JBV, JMS, JOM, OS, SEJ, SMJ). Below are the details of this "e-participation conference." We'd like to invite our colleagues from OB who also publish in the journals we'll be focusing on; you might find this information helpful since many of these journals are very much in common – and the focus of this conference is the publishing process at the top-tier.


    Here are the directions for your distance-participation in the ENT Research Excellence Exemplars Conference, at UConn May 28-30. Those present at the conference will include only the hosts, keynote speakers, editors, authors, and the most recent Heizer and NFIB dissertation award winners.

    You can find everything about the Conference, including the schedule and your login instructions, at http://ccei.business.uconn.edu – Please just follow the conference-related links.

    You will see from the schedule posted, that Venkat's keynote will be webcast on the evening of May 28th; and that the editor/author sessions and keynotes will then occur all day Friday the 29th, and until 2:00p EDT Saturday May 30th.

    Please note that IT IS BEST TO PRE-REGISTER (please do so ASAP) for the live video web-stream, access the conference website, schedule, and related information. Once the conference is underway, you will be able to access and view the live video/audio feed. The reason that we urgently request that you pre-register ASAP, is because this registration will help us to ensure that we have adequate bandwidth to reach all web participants without interruption.

    Please also note that the entire participation process has been designed to be self-explanatory; and we have done everything possible to anticipate and answer the most likely questions. However, should you encounter any difficulty (after reading the instructions thoroughly, please), and should you still be unable to solve the problem, please email khuntington@business.uconn.edu, and include the words CONFERENCE HELP in the email title.

    We sincerely hope you can join us as a distance-participant.

    Best,
    Ron Mitchell
    ENT Division Chair
