Dear Research Colleagues,
As long as public health conditions in the fall are similar to
those today, the NBER is planning to host a number of hybrid program
meetings, including a meeting of the Corporate Finance program on Friday
November 5 in Cambridge. Those who are fully vaccinated are welcome to
attend in-person. The meeting will also be available for virtual access
on Zoom. The NBER conference team is preparing to sign a hotel
contract with a room block for this meeting, and I am writing because I
would like to provide them with some guidance on potential in-person
attendance. Past experience may not be a very good guide for this fall!
I have designed a very brief SurveyMonkey questionnaire that asks
whether you are likely to attend the fall meeting in person and to need
a hotel room if you do. I would be very grateful if you could visit
this link

and indicate your best guess regarding your fall plans. If you have
received a similar message regarding the Asset Pricing program meeting
on the same day, and you need a hotel room, please reply to one only of
the two with this request. Responses are anonymous and non-binding, and
will be most helpful if received by tomorrow afternoon, Tuesday July
20. Thank you!
I hope that you are enjoying the Summer Institute and in particular
the YouTube postings of meeting presentations. I am very grateful for
your ongoing support. All best wishes.
