This form will serve as your registration for the informal economy summit hosted by Dr. Arielle Newman University of Southern Mississippi. The event will take place online on Thursday, June 11 from 10am-12pm CST.

All participants are invited to submit a 5-10 minute video introducing yourself, your research and current/future interests in the informal economy, and to pose questions to the audience. These questions can cover topics you are interested in pursuing, ones that you would like others to address, or agenda items for future research.

These videos will help registered attendees to acquaint ourselves with other scholars interested in the informal economy, and/or the latest work of colleagues we already know, and will help set the agenda. Prior to the conference we will review all the videos and compile a list of questions to disseminate to the live participants. We will create a list of 5 most commonly asked questions to guide our discussion during the virtual summit. These questions will be announced 1 week before the conference for you to ponder on and prepare.

All videos must be submitted by Friday, May 22 to informaleconomysummit@gmail.com. These videos will be uploaded to our conference website for all participants to watch at their leisure before the conference. The videos will be available after the summit as well.
