2025 AAEA & WAEA Joint Annual Meeting Ticketed Luncheons Monday, July 28, 2025 11:30 am – 1:00 pm
2025 AAEA FAMPS Poster Competition FAMPS proposes to host a poster session at the 2025 Annual Meeting, similar to the one hosted at 2024 meeting. The objective of the poster session is to provide a forum for researchers with more limited professional networks, like graduate students and beginning faculty, to be recognized for innovative and high-quality research in poster sessions. These researchers might be less likely to participate in track sessions, and thus attend the annual meeting, than researchers with stronger professionally networks. This recognition could also be helpful to some researchers at the beginning stages of their career. The 2025 Extension Competition for Graduate Students 2025 AAEA & WAEA Joint Annual Meeting The AAEA Extension Competition for Graduate Students provides an opportunity to develop and/or get feedback on programs that communicate research and practical information to Extension (usually non-economist) audiences. Entries can be based upon graduate student research for a thesis, dissertation or other academic work. The competition is sponsored by the Extension and Graduate Student Sections.
