Global
Conference
on
Business
and
Finance
Costa
Rica
plays
host
on
May
22-25
Costa
Rica
keeps
playing
the
role
of
gracious
and
comely
host
to
the
international
community,
and
to
that
extent
we
have
some
of
the
most
interesting
fair
and
conferences
coming
up.
From
May
22nd
to
the
25th,
the
Institute
for
Business
and
Finance
Research
will
be
holding
a
Global
Conference
on
Business
and
Finance
in
San
Jose.
Presenters
at
the
conference
will
read
from
works
related
to
different
fields
of
interest
within
the
world
of
international
business.
Some
topics
will
include
accounting,
finance,
marketing,
public
administration,
and
more.
In
the
past,
this
conference
has
been
held
at
the
Ramada
Plaza
Herradura
Hotel
in
San
Jose,
the
Flamingo
Hotel
in
Las
Vegas,
the
Trump
Plaza
in
Atlantic
City,
and
the
Keahou
Beach
Resort
in
Hawaii.
The
proceedings
of
the
conference
are
published
in a
variety
of
business
and
academic
journals.
Presenters
can
submit
papers
for
peer
review
in
English
or
Spanish.
The
call
for
papers
is
now,
and
the
deadline
for
submission
is
March
15.
For
visitors
who
wish
to
stay
at
the
same
hotel
as
the
conference,
the
deadline
for
reservations
is
April
19.
There
will
also
be a
web
simulcast
for
those
who
cannot
attend
in
person.
In
the
past,
the
Global
Business
Conference
has
touched
upon
important
subjects
such
as
the
socioeconomic
progress
that
can
be
realized
from
tourism,
as
well
as
the
monetary
figures
derived
from
the
global
growth
of
international
visits.
Another
notable
topic
at
past
conferences
included
a
close
look
at
the
failure
of
American
investment
banking
firm
Bear
Stearns
and
how
its
failure
due
to
short-term
debt
prevented
the
fair
calculation
of
other
high-quality
assets
in
its
portfolio.
An
even
more
interesting
paper
presented
in
the
past
looked
at
how
Latin
American
investment
banking
firms
are
thriving
despite
keeping
less
cash
on
reserves
and
being
exposed
to
higher
margins
on
their
debt
holding
when
compared
to
their
counterparts
on
Wall
Street.
Cash
management
in
Latin
America
involves
a
different
mindset
of
operating
without
much
liquidity
and
somehow
staying
afloat
in
periods
of
high
economic
turmoil.
Papers
are
being
accepted
now.
Interested
presenters
should
read
the
details
of
the
call
for
papers
at
the
IBFR
website,
and
non-presenting
attendees
can
register
from
the
same
web
page.
The
IBFR
can
be
also
be
contacted
via
their
office
in
Hawaii:

959-9120.
This
is a
great
opportunity
to
network
and
learn
important
factors
that
affect
the
global
economy.
