Australian Conference of Economists (ACE)
The first Australian Conference of Economists (ACE) was held in May 1970 in Melbourne, Victoria. The conference has since become an annual event. Responsibility for hosting the conference rotates between the various State Branches, while Central Council provides both continuity and support. ACE is the leading conference for economists in Australia. Each year it attracts top academic, policy and market economists to present their research and interact. The conference features both regional and international speakers.
Eminent Speaker Series
The Eminent Speaker Series provides a unique opportunity for you to hear from the world’s leading economists in an open forum. The Economic Society of Australia was founded in 1925, making it one of the oldest professional associations in Australia. One of the main objectives of the society is to encourage the teaching, study and application of economics and related disciplines in Australia and to encourage the research and public debate of economic questions. To meet this objective, the Economic Society of Australia launched the Eminent Speaker Series in 2010.

Women in Economics Network Mentoring Retreat
Held annually, the Mentoring Retreat provides an opportunity for around 30 mid-career (6-10 years) women economists to develop their networks, receive mentoring and strengthen their leadership and career decision making. Participants will be drawn from academia, government and the private sector. Sessions will focus on leadership and career development and life/work balance. The Retreat provides an opportunity for attendees to discuss issues as a group as well as participate in small group mentoring sessions with senior women from the same sector. Participants are asked to come to the Retreat with a career objective or challenge that they can work through with their mentor. Visit the WEN dedicated website.
