About

We would like to invite you to attend the 13th Annual FIRN Melbourne Asset Pricing Meeting, sponsored by FIRN and the University of Melbourne. The event will be held on Monday, 26 October 2026 at the Woodward Centre, which is on the 10^th floor of the University of Melbourne’s Law School, 185 Pelham St, Carlton, Victoria. The conference starts at 10:00 am, with registration and coffee/tea opening at 9:30 am.

There are no fees for registration or the conference dinner following, but you must register before Monday 19 October 2026 as space is limited (and it helps us get numbers correct for catering).

This year’s program is excellent and headlined by a keynote speech by Andrea Vedolin (Boston University), with presentations by Peter Cziraki (Texas A&M University ), Mo Pourmohammadi (Yale School of Management), Edouard Mattille (UNSW), Samia Badidi (Nanyang Business School), Alex Jeanneret (UNSW), Kevin Schneider (University of Arizona), and Hongye Guo (Hong Kong University). A conference dinner with the presenters and discussants follows for those who register early (by 19 October). The detailed program is available at:

We look forward to seeing you in person at the 13^th Annual Melbourne Asset Pricing Meeting on 26 October 2026.
