We are pleased to invite submissions from all areas of finance to be considered for presentation at the Colorado Finance Summit 2023. We encourage both theoretical and empirical contributions. We favor early work that has not appeared at other conferences. The final program will consist of 8 papers, plus a session with presentations by selected (2023-2024) job market candidates. 

The conference will be held in person at the Hythe Vail, beginning with a reception on the evening of December 14 and ending after the morning session on December 17. Invited attendees will have ample opportunity to explore Vail and its outdoor activities.

REGULAR SESSION: Submissions to the regular session require the payment of a submission fee of $95. To submit a paper for the regular session, visit the submissions page.

JOB MARKET SESSION: Submissions to the job market session require a faculty nomination. To submit a paper for the job market session, visit the submissions page.

DEADLINES: The deadline for regular submissions is August 31, 2023 at 11:59pm PT. The deadline for job market candidate nominations and submissions is October 15, 2023 at 11:59pm PT. Authors of accepted papers and selected job market candidates will be notified by early November.

CONFERENCE REGISTRATION: We will contact invited participants with more detail on the program and how to register for the conference in late October. We will provide a travel honorarium and waive the registration fee for each of the presenting job market candidates.

CONFERENCE AWARDS: The conference is sponsoring three awards:  best paper on the regular session ($1000), best paper presentation by a job market candidate ($1000), and best discussion ($1000). We will present these awards based on the votes of the conference participants at the conclusion of the conference.
