This past Friday May 29 th, BALAS - the Business Association for Latin American Business Studies- with the support of Universidad La Salle, Esan University and the University of Chile, hosted the first FULLY ONLINE event: the BALAS 2020 Doctoral Colloquium (see program here), over the Hopin.to platform. This Colloquium is part of the 2020 Annual Conference, which will be held online next 23/25th September.  The Colloquium included 12 Doctoral Student presentations in front of Expert Panels and one plenary session with Prof. Joao Mauricio Boaventura, editor of RBGN (Revista Brasileira do Gestao do Negocios, WoS indexed) for a very fruitful and engaging event. We want to thank the Doctoral Students and the 10+ panelists for their participation and collaboration in this Colloquium.  Also, we are very glad that, since we opened the Colloquium to doctoral students and professors in Latin America, we had over 100 registered guests that came from 10 different countries as Brazil, Chile, Perú, Spain, Ireland, among others.

This was a great pilot event, that foster the exchange of ideas and collaboration for Business doctoral students in Latin America. We look forward to the BALAS Annual Conference in September, and other events that the Association is planning for the near future.
