The circulation of the Call for Papers started now. The local hosts found a fantastic venue and are working on a side program as well. Planned Additional Conference Programming will include:
• Guides for museums, shopping, and art galleries, including the Royal Ontario Museum, Bata Shoe Museum, Textile Museum, Gardiner Museum of Ceramic Art, Art Gallery of Ontario, Aga Khan Museum.
• Toronto Business History Walking Tours, downloadable audio/video created by Rotman MBA students of themes, firms, geographies of Canadian/global business history: Distillery District, Financial District, Fashion District, retailing (Eaton’s), manufacturing (Massey), or food services (St. Lawrence Market).
• Plant Tour of automotive manufacturing facility (firm TBD).
• Archival Tours of banking, retail, or other firms/institutions.
• Streetcar Tour of downtown Toronto, with local historians/guides
• Sporting Events (Blue Jays/TFC/Argonauts) and concerts.

The WCBH organizing committee intends to provide as much support as possible to scholars, postdocs, and students from traditionally underrepresented regions and the Global South by offering a lower registration fee and lower cost accommodation, and by providing direct funding support in as many cases as possible. The EBHA is providing financial assistance to European early career scholars without access to (sufficient) funding for traveling to Toronto.
