2017 NABE Tech Economics Poster Session Application |
Summary
Conventional theory building, model development, and causal inference are necessary but no longer sufficient tools for Tech companies thriving in today’s economic environment. The emergence of powerful software algorithms, next-generation experiments, big data, commodification of processing power, scalable platform computing, A.I., and machine learning are generating profound change for business economists and their academic colleagues.
NABE’s TEC 2017 Conference, brings together leading thinkers in economics and data science in an intellectual exchange on how interdisciplinary developments in these fields are impacting today’s approaches, frameworks, tools, and techniques. World-class business economists at Tech companies like Amazon, CoreLogic, Facebook, Google, IBM, Indeed, Intel, Netflix, Redfin, and Zillow will elaborate on the emerging and future data science needs in economic research and practice.
If you are a graduate student, assistant professor, junior researcher, or young professional who has developed innovative ideas in the alignment of economics and data science and would like to display a new methodology, research, or technique, you are encouraged to apply to participate in the poster session.
The Poster Session is designed to encourage the free flow of new thoughts and ideas and research in progress. The poster session will allow you to present your work, network with others who may be working on similar projects, and receive feedback from a broad network of tech economists.
The poster sessions will take place at the Seattle Marriott Waterfront on Wednesday, November 15 and Thursday, November 16, 2017, during the conference (times subject to change; NABE will email exact times one week before event). Selected applicants must be present at both sessions. The sessions will coincide with networking breaks during the conference program.
The Selection Committee will select abstracts for poster submission. Applicants will be required to submit a draft showing significant progress through a draft poster or preliminary results report. Final selection, and the opportunity to present at the conference, will be based on the selection committee's approval of progress. Applicants invited to display at the conference will receive one complimentary full registration to the 2017 NABE Tech Economics Conference, Career Fair, and Expo (TEC)!
