What is the status of 2020 BCERC?

We have made the difficult decision that the 2020 BCERC will not be an in-person conference. We are diligently working on an asynchronous option for 2020 BCERC where presenters would upload presentations and attendees would be able to review the presentations at their leisure.

Please see the Babson College BCERC website for details and updates.

Welcome to the 40th Annual Babson College Entrepreneurship Research Conference (BCERC).
