The Vienna Festival of Finance Theory (VFFT) is a conference series that is jointly organized by Josef Zechner (WU Vienna), Adam Zawadowski (CEU), Paul Voss (HEC Paris) and Markus Parlasca (WU Vienna). The goal of the conference is to bring together leading researchers in the fields of corporate finance theory and financial intermediation theory. The conference program consists of 8-10 papers and allows for in-depth presentations and discussions.

We are inviting submissions for the 2024 Vienna Festival of Finance Theory which will take place from the 25th until the 27th of August in Vienna on the campus of the Vienna University of Economics and Business (WU Vienna). We expect an excellent conference and encourage submissions of theory papers in corporate finance and financial intermediation broadly defined. Each paper will be reviewed by at least two members of the program committee. The past program is available on the conference website: https://tinyurl.com/4kn9xajz
