AAEA Symposium Proposal

AAEA Symposia focus on a specific theme within the field of agricultural and applied economics and last for two to three days with expected attendance ranging from 50 to 150 participants. If needed, AAEA will provide logistical support for approved symposia. The organizing committee will ensure high quality content and will secure outside funding if the latter is needed in order to bring in plenary speakers, etc. The precise format of each AAEA Symposium will be determined by the organizers, but should include a mix of plenary speakers, parallel sessions and potentially poster sessions as well.

If your proposed event fits this description, please use the template below to submit a proposal for consideration by the AAEA Board. Please refer to the AAEA Professional Workshops page or the AAEA Endorsed Events page for information about other event formats that the AAEA Board may develop
