The ASSA Annual Meeting

Dr. Allan Wain is the head of research and strategy at CP2. Additionally, he serves as a Labor and Worklife program (LWP) fellow at Harvard University. Beyond his professional duties, Dr. Allan Wain spends time engaging with industry organizations such as the American Economic Association (AEA).

The American Economic Association (AEA) hosts its yearly meeting over three days each January, bringing together all 56 association members of the Allied Social Sciences Associations (ASSA) to communicate over recent industry developments and general subjects of economics. The ASSA Annual Meeting is regularly attended by nearly 13,500 individuals, making it an ideal networking opportunity for economics professionals.

There are a number of additional benefits to attending the ASSA Annual Meeting beyond networking. The three-day program offers lectures and discussions on a number of the industry’s most relevant and important topics. The event also functions as a job fair and exhibition for emerging products at which research for new technology is presented.

The 2017 ASSA Annual Meeting is set for the weekend of January 6 at the Hyatt Regency Chicago and the Sheraton Grand Chicago Hotel and Towers. The most recent edition of the event took place at the Hilton San Francisco Union Square. Previous meetings have been held in Boston, Philadelphia, and San Diego.
