Call for Sessions and Papers for the 2017 AEA Meeting. The deadline for submissions to be considered for the January 2017 AEA Meeting program in Chicago is April 1, 2016 for individual papers and April 15, 2016 for complete sessions. See: https://www.aeaweb.org/Annual_Meeting/submissions.php
Enhanced Poster Presentations at the 2017 Chicago meetings. The AEA is planning an enhanced poster session, in which accepted posters will remain up during the entire conference, in the main conference area. Posters should be self-explanatory so they can be read without the author present. The AEA anticipates being able to offer some help in arranging the printing of large posters.
Econ-Harmony helps prospective individual paper submitters for the AEA Annual Meetings find others with similar interests who might join them to form a complete session submission, and provides an opportunity to volunteer as a session chair. Twenty-six percent of submitted complete sessions and 12% of submitted individual papers appeared on the 2016 Program. Econ-Harmony is available on February 1 at https://www.aeaweb.org/econ-harmony/.

The AEA Committee on Economic Education will sponsor a poster session at the 2017 ASSA Meetings January 6-8 in Chicago devoted to active learning strategies across the economics curriculum. Instead of papers, session presenters will prepare large visual poster summaries of their work, which will be mounted in an exhibition room to allow presenters to talk directly with session participants. Although we encourage presenters to include evidence that their strategy enhances learning, we do not require quantifiable evidence. Presenters should emphasize the originality of their strategy and provide sufficient information so that session participants may apply the technique in their own classrooms. Proposals should describe the teaching strategy and explain how it will be displayed on the poster. Posters marketing textbooks, commercial software, or similar materials will not be considered for the session. Proposals are limited to two pages and are due by April 1, 2016. Proposals should include full contact information for all authors. Please send proposals to Steven Cobb, University of North Texas, scobb@unt.edu.
The National Conference on Teaching and Research in Economic Education (CTREE) will be held June 1-3, 2016 at the JW Marriott Atlanta Buckhead. The conference is hosted by the AEA Committee on Economic Education in cooperation with the Journal of Economic Education and the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. Registration opens February 16, 2016. For more information go to https://www.aeaweb.org/committees/AEACEE/index.php.
