Dear Prof. Lorenzen, Hope you're doing great. Druid was my first international conference as a PhD student. It was an amazing experience to say the least. There were so many things to like about Druid. The PDW sessions resonated with me especially given that I had reviewed the literature on entrepreneurship for my comprehensive exams this summer. I found the keynote address by Prof. von Hippel quite interesting, and I could especially relate to the work presented by Prof. Valentina Tartari. I found the debates to be fun as well as informative. Lastly, the outdoor event at the fort was very memorable and quite a unique experience. As for my paper, I got really good feedback from two different discussants, which has given me enough to think about and work on for the rest of summer. I hope to develop it further into my dissertation. The opportunity to discuss three research papers was wonderful, and I learnt a lot myself while giving constructive feedback to the authors. I would appreciate if there were more forums online/offline through which PhD students could connect with faculty members through the year. This is especially important given that my school is based out of Asia (India). I really look forward to associating with Druid and its activities in the years to come. Thanks so much, Yours sincerely, Sonal Nayak PhD Candidate (Strategy) Indian Institute of Management Bangalore Email ID: sonal.nayak21@iimb.ac.in<mailto:sonal.nayak21@iimb.ac.in> Phone: +91 9591504619 [cid:image001.png@01D9A694.2F419CA0] Attention: iimb.ac.in is our new domain ****************************************** Disclaimer *************************************************** This email message, its content and any files transmitted with it are intended solely for the originally intended addressee(s) and may be legally privileged and /or confidential.
