Compliance Net Conference 2023

ComplianceNet seeks to bring together scholars from a range of different disciplines to study the interaction between rules (broadly defined) and individual, group, or organizational behavior. The first five meetings have been highly successful, bringing together academics from business, criminology, economics, law, political science, psychology and sociology, among other fields. See the ComplianceNet website at www.compliancenet.org for more details about the organization’s structure and goals.

ComplianceNet 2023 will be hosted by American University Washington College of Law in Washington, DC. It will take place June 21-23, 2023. It will have an anti-corruption theme, though papers on all topics related to compliance will be welcome. We are currently accepting panel or paper submissions, with an extended deadline of March 31, 2023, and will seek to notify everyone of panel and paper approvals by April 15, 2023.

The conference fee is set at $212. This is to pay for food and drinks (light breakfast snacks, tea and coffee, lunch, and two receptions with snacks) and other conference-related expenses during the conference. The conference organizers will not provide or organize housing and accommodation, but we will provide some general information by email to registered participants.

A program committee will review abstracts and select papers and panels that specifically discuss theoretical and/or empirical aspects about compliance, as defined as the interaction between rules (broadly defined) and individual, group, or organizational behavior. If your paper is not accepted and because of this you choose not to participate, we will arrange a refund (excluding the Eventbrite Service Fee).

We have the following options for registering for the conference:-

- Individual Papers: Please select the “Single Paper Proposal” option, and submit the paper title and abstract (up to about 200 words).

- Panels (3 papers minimum with a maximum of 5 per panel): Please select the “Panel Proposal” option and you will be asked to submit an integrative statement explaining the panel (approximately 200 words), the titles of each paper and their authors, and an abstract for each paper (approximately 200 words). Each panel organizer must arrange that panelists (other than the panel submitter) register their papers individually once the panel has been approved (using the “Papers within panel proposal” option). If panel members fail to register their papers and confirm attendance, the conference organizers may place other, thematically-related, papers into the panel to ensure that each panel has more than one presentation.

- Papers within a Panel, please select the “Papers Within a Panel” option and submit the paper title and abstract (up to about 200 words).

- If you would like to attend, but do not want to present a paper or a panel, please choose the “Attendance Without Presenting” option. You may select this option up until April 5, 2023.

All eligible participants will be able to put themselves forward for the Best Paper Award by a Junior Scholar and the Best Paper Award by a Senior Scholar. We will also be giving out a Lifetime Achievement Award for seminal contributions to the study of compliance, but that award recipient is chosen by the ComplianceNet steering committee. Awards submissions must be received by March 31, 2023, and we will seek to notify awards recipients by April 28, 2023.

In summary, here are the Conference deadlines for all registrants:

- Submission of Panel and Paper Submissions: March 31, 2023

- Submissions for Awards: March 31, 2023

- Registration for Attendance Without Presenting: April 5, 2023

We look forward to seeing you at ComplianceNet 2023!
