Submission Guidelines
Future Finance Fest (“3f”) seeks to foster conversations and collaborations between finance academics and fintechs (as well as other practitioners interested in financial innovation and the future of finance). Accordingly, submissions are accepted through two tracks: the academic track and the fintech/practitioner track. Individual conference sessions, however, will deliberately contain presentations from both academics and fintechs. This means that academic- and fintech-specific jargon should be minimized, and presentations will need to be intelligible and engaging to both sides.
Submissions through the academic track need to be in the form of a research paper (early stage work is welcome), a case study, or an extended abstract.
Regardless of the track, each submission should also include a note for reviewers on the contribution’s novelty, actionable insights for both academics and practitioners, and relevance to the future of finance.
We realize that both academic and fintech submissions can contain potentially sensitive information. Submissions to 3f will not be circulated outside of the 3f program committee. Accepted papers will only be posted on the conference website with authors’ permission.
We hope that the conference will result in many exciting academic-fintech collaborations that will both advance scientific knowledge and result in practical innovations. We therefore welcome academics and practitioners who are respectful towards and curious about “the other side”, and who are open to such collaborations. Join us at 3f to spark new ideas, forge unexpected collaborations, and help shape the future of finance!
