Abstract
We organized a doctoral symposium in April 2021. This was a student-run program, which provided opportunities for Ph.D. students interested in studying business and institutions in China to present their work, collect feedback, and network with other students and faculty members who share similar interests. We accumulated some knowledge about how to organize a (virtual) academic conference. This article summarizes our experiences. We hope to achieve two goals. First, we hope that this guide provides some public good to the research community, especially Ph.D. students, informing them on how to design and organize small-scale academic conferences and workshops. We provide detailed procedures and include relevant materials, including the call for papers, email communications, and final agenda for readers’ reference. Second, as COVID-19 has significantly reduced travel frequency for academic researchers and suspended many in-person academic meetings, we hope that this guide will help encourage researchers to explore additional channels for academic exchanges and promote research collaboration in these challenging times.
