The 40th Australian Conference of Economists 2011 (ACE) has been announced. The conference will be held from 11th – 13th July 2011, with a public policy symposium being held on the 14th July.
For the first time since the Bicentenary, the Australian Conference of Economists will be held in July. The new timing will allow more economists, both inside and outside Australia, to be part of the largest meeting of economists Australia provides: one that encompasses both policy and theory, academics & policy makers.
ACE2011 will host seven plenary speakers, several panels, a range of special sessions, a day-long Public Policy Symposium, a PhD/Hons Job Fair, as well as refereed contributed papers.
It will be held in Canberra in the new grounds and facilities of the College of Business and Economics of the ANU, sited on the edge of Canberra's City West Art Precinct that has experienced transformative development over the past three years.
