AERE Annual Summer Conference
Excellence in Academic Programming -- Collegiality in Destinations Worth Visiting
A Message from AERE President Dan Phaneuf
As many of you may have heard by now, the AERE Board of Directors and local conference organizers made the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 AERE Summer Conference in Miami. The reasoning is related to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, uncertainty about how long crisis will last and the resulting disruptions to travel. The latter includes policies put in place by many institutions restricting both domestic and international travel indefinitely. Given the unusual times and ongoing uncertainty, there was consensus that cancelling this summer’s event was the right move.
The decision to cancel now also has fiscal advantages in that we have been able to reach agreement with the conference venue to postpone the event until next year without penalty. As such, I am happy to announce that the 2021 AERE Summer Conference and Pre-Conference Workshop will be held at the Hyatt Regency Miami on June 2-4, 2021. Dave Kelly and Chris Parmeter of the University of Miami have generously agreed to pick up their organizing and hosting duties again next year. Thanks to them and the many others who submitted papers, reviewed abstracts, planned the pre-conference workshop, and helped with other organizational elements over the past few months. I look forward to working with you again next year.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we have grappled with this challenge. Please stay safe.
AERE’s signature Summer Conference gathers the world’s leading environmental and natural resource economists for two days of outstanding academic programming in a collegial atmosphere.
