This
ISBE Conference will have an integrated programme of nine parallel Seminars and
Workshops covering the whole spectrum of small business and entrepreneurship.
There will be over 200 academic papers and practical presentations together with
interactive debates on the key issues and policy implications in each field of

The
Opening Plenary Sessions on Wednesday morning will be split into three parallel
review sessions reflecting the three primary ISBE pillars of research, education
and practice. The presentation of papers in nine parallel Tracks will begin on
the Wednesday afternoon, followed by a Welcome Reception & Networking Buffet
that evening.
On
Thursday the Conference will again have nine parallel sessions covering the
specified Tracks, each with three 90-minute sessions, followed by the Plenary
SessionII and Plenary
