Co-organiser Elicia Maine, Professor of Innovation & Entrepreneurship at Simon Fraser University, comments: “Due to the uncertainty regarding travel and physical distancing requirements, the organising committee has decided to move the symposium to a virtual format; we have had some exciting contributions and are looking forward to a vibrant event.

“The symposium will still be held on August 4 and 5, 2020, and we will make every effort to schedule academic papers and the PhD mentoring session with time zones taken into account. The format will be designed to encourage interactive discussion and feedback in the sessions. There will be session discussants and best paper awards.

“A further piece of good news is that the registration fee will be waived, enabling more people to participate.”

Those with papers accepted for the conference now have until 1 June 2020 to upload their papers to be scheduled into the academic program.

The revised conference agenda will be posted on the website by late May.
