The AAEA Executive Board invites Track Session proposals for the 2026 AAEA Annual Meeting in Kansas City, MO. Tracks are a set of multiple sessions submitted by AAEA Sections, scheduled throughout the meeting and devoted to a common interest area or topic. The AAEA President determines the number of sessions allocated to each section. All Section leaders have been notified of their 2026 allocations.
Section Leaders are responsible for managing and submitting Track Session proposals to the Abstract Management System, please review the Section Leadership Resource page for dates and deadlines. If you are not a Section Leader and are interested in submitting a proposal for a Track Session, please contact the chair of the Section for more information about the session topics that they are seeking. Proposals submitted to the AAEA Business Office by an individual will be referred back to the Section for approval and official submission.
Specific Track Sessions can also be considered as Invited Paper sessions. These sessions need to be submitted through the online submission system as an Invited Paper session (see the call for Invited Paper Sessions for more information), and included with the initial Track Session proposals due in December, with an indication that it has also been submitted as an Invited Paper Session. If the proposed Invited Paper session is not accepted, it will still be included as a traditional Track Session.
Please visit the 2026 AAEA Annual Meeting website for more information about the annual meeting.
Please contact Jessica Weister at jweister@aaea.org or (414) 918-3190 if you have any other questions about submitting or participating in a Track Session.
