Dear Colleagues,
Please mark your diaries and start thinking seriously about coming Down Under for a high quality and highly developmental conference experience early next year. I'm talking about the ACERE – the Australian Centre for Entrepreneurship Research Exchange – which we host at QUT in Brisbane, February 6-8, 2013. ACERE is a highly international conference, with 1/3 of participants coming from Europe and North America and with representation from a range of other countries in both hemispheres. The conference emphasizes developmental feedback for participants at all stages of their career, and also encompasses a designated Doctoral Consortium. See further our conference website, where you can register you can read testimonials from past participants and subscribe to our mailing list, and from which the introductory text below is taken.

ACERE is the annual, Australian-based research conference dedicated to entrepreneurship. Held in February each year – summer break in the southern hemisphere and a particularly good time to escape cold weather conditions for our northern hemisphere colleagues – the conference welcomes researchers and research users from Australia and all over the world. The name ACERE means "Australian Centre for Entrepreneurship Research Exchange". This marks the continuity with its predecessor, the AGSE International Research Exchange, which was run for eight years by Swinburne University.
ACERE aims to be a highly developmental professional experience for all participants. The conference features regular paper presentation sessions as well as a paper development workshop; a doctoral consortium; social events, and keynote addresses by international top scholars. In recent years, the keynote speakers include Dean Shepherd (who has a prominent role every year), Patti Greene, Tom Lumpkin, David Audretsch, Candida Brush, Sara Carter, Bill Bygrave, Helle Neergaard, Zoltan Acs and Michael Frese.
Like its predecessor, ACERE rotates among different locations. The first conference under the ACERE name was held in Fremantle, Western Australia, in 2012. For the 2013 conference we are very much looking forward to welcoming you to the Australian Centre for Entrepreneurship Research' home turf, the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) in Brisbane, which has just been named one of the 7 most livable cities in the World. If you have a preliminary interest in participating in the 2013 conference please make sure you register your details on the Contact us page, and we will send you updates as the planning of the conference progresses.
