Suggested talking points
The interactive format with dedicated discussants creates an opportunity to test empirical findings against practitioner feedback in real-time, allowing researchers to identify gaps between academic models and institutional implementation before publication.
A regional conference at American University positions Washington-based financial regulators, policy analysts, and compliance officers as the primary audience, making it a suitable venue for research that directly informs capital markets policy or banking regulation.
The limited presentation slots and no-fee structure suggest a curated, peer-reviewed selection process comparable to academic seminars rather than commercial conferences, which could enhance credibility for work addressing methodological rigor in finance research.
Position a submission around how the discussant model enables bridging academic finance research with practical regulatory or institutional application in the DC policy ecosystem.
