The Fifth Annual ACM SIGecom Winter Meeting
The Fifth SIGecom Winter Meeting will take place Thursday, March 6, 2026, at 11am - 5pm Eastern time.
The SIGecom Winter Meeting brings together researchers from economics and computation and adjacent communities. It takes the form of a workshop focusing on a topic of interest in economics and computation, with the goal of building community and strengthening research connections.
This year's topic is the interplay of market design and generative AI. The meeting will feature a tutorial on generative AI as well as research presentations exploring different perspectives on how economics can contribute to the development of GenAI and how GenAI can contribute to economics.
