We are hoping to advertise the ACM Conference on Economics and Computation. The conference is taking place virtually with events starting next week and continuing through the main conference on July 13-17. We have the following summary that could be shared broadly. It would be great if you can help us get this out on the right channel, or if you have advice on how to do that otherwise, please let me know. Thanks!

Since 1999 the ACM Special Interest Group on Economics and Computation (SIGecom) has sponsored the leading scientific conference on advances in theory, empirics, and applications at the interface of economics and computation. The 21st ACM Conference on Economics and Computation (Virtual EC 2020) will feature invited speakers, a highlight of papers from other conferences and journals, a technical program of submitted paper presentations and posters, workshops, and tutorials.  

Registration is mandatory (register here) but complimentary with SIGecom membership of $10 ($5 for students).  Details on joining EC events will be emailed to registered participants.
