Testimonials

As a first-time participant and a new doctoral student just 6 months in, the conference has been extremely useful for me in terms of my own personal learning and in meeting new, liked-minded individuals. I would definitely encourage more of my friends to apply the conference in the future.

The ACERE conference was extremely well organized. Communication, planning and execution; it all works perfectly. High academic standard, very skilled participants, nice presentations, interesting topics and discussions, as well as relevant key-notes and a nice atmosphere. A truly great conference.

Martin Senderovitz

A fantastic conference. Quality of papers and quality of feedback provided is of a high standard. The key notes were superb. The size of the conference supports a real community feeling amongst the participants.

Jillian Gordon

I have been in touch with ACERE for more than ten years. This is a great venue for young scholars to learn from each other and a great opportunity to closely interact with top scholars in the field of entrepreneurship research. I deeply appreciate the efforts of the organizing team in initiating a great learning environment among participants. Doctoral consortium, pitching, and paper development session are the examples of those initiatives.

Thanaphol Virasa

The 2018 ACERE conference was my first visit and I came for the conference from Pakistan. I found the conference very productive and interactive. It gives an excellent platform to new researchers to discuss their research with outstanding academic scholars

Dr. Noor Muhammad

I would like to congratulate you for the wonderful ACERE Conference you organised in Brisbane this year – 2018. I was happy to participate in such great event! – Thank you

‘I just wanted to let you know that ACERE was the best conference I’ve ever attended. Fantastic people, fantastic food, fantastic location(s), fantastic events, and on and on. This was my first time to Australia and I’m completely smitten. In sum, thanks for an amazing experience and I hope to be a life-long attendee moving forward!’

Linh T. Nguyen
University of NSW

I wanted to thank you and congratulate you on the format and quality of the conference. I had the chance for one my papers to be included in the PDS session, and I believe it has truly been helpful. The initial as well as PDS reviews were of high quality, and the exchanges during the session itself, outstanding. I hope you will re-conduct this format in the future!

Virginie Vial
Kedge Business School

Thank you for setting such a supportive and developmental tone both for the doctoral consortium and for the whole ACERE conference. I haven’t been to too many conferences, but I’ve been to enough to know that ACERE offers a unique and golden opportunity for doctoral candidates and early career researchers to learn from some of the best in the field about how to improve and position our research.

Thanks again for providing our research community with such an inviting and generous conference.

As a practitioner, I thorougly enjoyed the 2014 ACERE conference in Sydney.  Unlike the other BIG entrepreneurship conferences that I have attended, ACERE covers many of the important issues and topics in entrepreneurship research and also provides a rich practitioner and policy perspective. More importantly the ACERE conference team were entrepreneurial in their thinking- they knew the needs of their customers, the participants, quite intimately and provided an awesome customer service. The conference was the “right size” which facilitates excellent networking opportunities not only for researchers, but also for students, practitioners and policy makers. I plan to be back!

Dr. Suresh Kumar
Founder and CEO
NexAge Technologies USA Inc/Green Earth LLC and Game Changers LLC

I gained a great deal from this session, particularly the need to properly frame the paper (and any paper), and ways to link my research to the theory. In addition, the discussion helped me to work out a “template” that I can apply to a number of research ideas that I have vaguely been thinking about. This was a really valuable session for me, and it helped me to finish the conference on a very high note.

Peter Balan
University, South Australia

I really enjoyed the conference – it is great value, something that you cannot say of many conferences.

Martie-Louise Verreynne
University, Queensland

As a first year PhD, I had no idea how invaluable it would be to learn from others, gain insight into the research process, gain valuable feedback, and network in a very supportive environment. I’m so glad that I came and hope to see you next year. Well done on hosting a great event.

Erin Castellas
Monash University

Thank you for hosting a very successful and enjoyable conference. I am looking forward to build my career and network by taking part in the future activities of ACE.

Saskia de Klerk

Thanks for organising the ACERE conference. It was a great success. On the whole there was a lot of value in meeting and discussing projects etc.

Jeremy Zwiegelaar

“It was a fantastic conference!”

Lene Foss

I’d just like to thank you again for the great conference – We learnt so much from all the different sessions, the experts and it was great to be able to get personal feedback.

Retha Scheepers

Thanks for such a great conference!

Morgan P. Miles
Professor
University

Thank you for providing doctoral students like me a wonderful opportunity to showcase their work and ideas as well as get invaluable insights into academia and research through the sessions and interactions. I found the Doctoral Consortium and the PDW especially helpful. The first one provided me good feedback on my work and the PDW really helped me in understanding how a paper had to be structured and how Editors looked at one.

Vidhula Venugopal
Doctoral Candidate
Indian Institute

It was amazing how much mentorship was embedded into the consortium and conference. I truly do believe that I gained tremendous value from attending the conference. Thank you all so much for sharing.

Sharon Simmons

The ACERE/Diana conference was fabulous!

Roxanne Zolin

I particularly enjoyed the PhD Consortium

PhD Candidate

This was my first time at the Acere conference, and I was impressed. A small group of highly engaged scholars. Well organized, multi-track meetings that ran on schedule. Fun social evenings. Topped off by a highly valued Paper Development Workshop that provided wonderful feedback. Well worth the long trip to Western Australia!

Brian King

Thank you once again for the superb organization of the conference. It was a very enriching and enjoyable experience.
