Registration is available on site and is open to association members and non-members. Credentialed members of the news media may attend free of charge, with advance approval.

According to Dr. Timothy Hackenberg, Conference Program Chair, presenters will examine a wide array of behavioral economic perspectives, producing new insights into behavioral and neural mechanisms of economic behavior, including problem behavior (e.g., addictions, gambling). This conference will also address how behavioral economics may inform public policy.
