The Econ Games 2023

Economics in the Real-World

  • Connect

    Connect with students from other universities. The Econ Games will help you build a stronger network of students and faculty that share your commitment to learning and applying your economic knowledge to real-life business problems.

  • Apply

    Learn how to apply what you learn in the classroom to business problems. Use your data analysis skills to tackle problems from the business world.

  • Grow

    The Econ Games conference will help you develop technical skills but also will reinforce the importance of soft-skills. Working with teams, communication, and the ability to persuade an audience are important workforce skills that our participants gain.

As outlined above, member institutions will pay $100 per student for our annual conference while our non-member fee is priced at $250. 

The Community

The Econ Games Community will provide students with networking and development opportunities with individuals from other institutions. Community members will also have a direct line of communication with our community development managers who will support and answer any questions that faculty and students have. Non-members will not be granted access to the online community and will use a customer service email for any questions they may have. 

In The Econ Games Community, we will be launching a series of virtual workshops and skilled development tutorials on select Fridays at 2 pm EST! These workshops will be offered exclusively to our community members and no recordings will be available outside of the community dashboard.

Our kickoff session to these workshops will be on November 4th at 2 pm EST! Be on the lookout for more information on these virtual workshops soon! 

If you're looking to join our online community, registration is open now for faculty to become members and to invite their students! Otherwise, to register individual students for the conference, registration will be open in the early spring semester. We have a limited number of students for the conference, and spots will go quickly! We hope to see you on March 24th and 25th in Lexington, Kentucky, and look forward to working with you to enrich the educational experience for your students!
