The conference is in memory of Professor Peter Christoffersen, our friend and colleague, who passed away in June 2018. Peter held the TMX Chair in Capital Markets and a Bank of Canada Fellowship and was a widely respected member of the Rotman School since 2010. Prior to 2010 Peter was a valued member of the Desautels Faculty of Management. In addition to Peter’s transformative work in econometrics and volatility models, financial risk and innovation have been the focus of Peter’s work in recent years.
The conference will be held at the Fairmont Tremblant, approx. 90 min drive from Montreal. Direct flights between Toronto and the Mt. Tremblant airport (YTM) are also available daily. This ski in ski out hotel provides a unique venue to hold a high quality conference combined with alpine skiing experience during peak season.

The conference organizers will cover 3 nights of accommodation at Fairmont Tremblant and registration fees for presenters and discussants.
