Dear all, 

We are organising the workshop as part of the 2026 BSE Summer Forum called Information Exchange and Trading in the Age of AI and Social Media: Theory and Experiments, which will take place in Barcelona from June 4-5, 2026.  The keynote speakers will be Peter Bossaerts (University of Cambridge) and Jean-Edouard Colliard (HEC, Paris). The workshop organizers are Anna Bayona (ESADE Business School), Jordi Brandts (IAE-CSIC and BSE) and Xavier Vives (IESE Business School). 

The BSE Summer Forum on Information Exchange and Trading in the Age of AI and Social Media: Theory and Experiments seeks to put together cutting edge research in these areas. Recent developments — ranging from social media platforms to large language models — have fundamentally altered the mechanisms through which information is generated, transmitted, and interpreted. The Forum’s objective is to examine these transformations and assess their implications for markets.

The deadline for submissions is February 28, 2026. To submit a paper, please use this link https://app-summerforum.bse.eu/. Submissions should include either a full paper or an extended abstract with the main results. Authors chosen to present papers will be notified approximately by the end of March. A preliminary program will be announced by the end of April. Final programs will be on the web by the end of May.

We are looking forward to your submissions.

Anna Bayona
