Hello! ICGJ is back after last year didn't quite work out. I am excited to be hosting this conference in New York City here at Pace University. We are in the heart of the financial district in Manhattan and there is a ton of things to do and great places to eat nearby. Never been to the Brooklyn Bridge? Fuhgeddaboudit, we're right there!
The Call for Papers information has been posted!
