For those of you who come regularly to <a href=\"https:\/\/david-alegre.com\/repo-sed\/sedam_2023\/\">SED conferences<\/a>, you will know that he was a <a href=\"https:\/\/david-alegre.com\/repo-sed\/about-us\/\">former\u00a0president<\/a>\u00a0of the Society and came every year.\u00a0\u00a0In Ed&#8217;s view, it was a Society for the young but he also felt honored when one of his papers was picked to be on the program. We will miss him, but we certainly will not forget him.\u00a0\u00a0I hope to honor him and his legacy at the meeting next summer and will hopefully persuade the editors at <a href=\"https:\/\/david-alegre.com\/repo-sed\/red\/\">RED<\/a> to do a special issue in his honor.<\/h4>\n<h4>\u00a0In happier news, we had an incredibly <a href=\"https:\/\/david-alegre.com\/repo-sed\/sedam_2022\/\">successful conference in Madison<\/a> this past summer&#8212;well beyond expectations of many who a priori discounted how fun it can be in the <a href=\"https:\/\/econ.wisc.edu\/\">American heartland<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0For those of you that were there, thank you for posting all of the pictures, which clearly conveyed the extent of joy to be back together without CDC restrictions. This was a smaller meeting than the usual pre-Covid level of 504.\u00a0\u00a0In Madison, we had only 360 in large part because the planning was more rushed than previous meetings.\u00a0\u00a0I can say from personal experience that the logistics of hosting large meetings is very involved.\u00a0\u00a0But the <a href=\"https:\/\/econ.wisc.edu\/\">Madison team<\/a> headed by <a href=\"https:\/\/ideas.repec.org\/e\/pru22.html\">Kim Ruhl<\/a> pulled it off in style. Perfect weather was also a much welcomed bonus.<\/h4>\n<h4>\u00a0Program chairs <a href=\"https:\/\/ideas.repec.org\/f\/pba291.html\">Yan Bai<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/ideas.repec.org\/f\/psh383.html\">Yongs Shin<\/a> were also a key factor for the success of the meeting. An important task for them was organizing the three plenary sessions. This year&#8217;s choices of <a href=\"https:\/\/scholar.harvard.edu\/gopinath\/home\">Gita Gopinath<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/campuspress.yale.edu\/moscarini\/\">Giuseppe Moscarini<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/rossihansberg.economics.uchicago.edu\/\">Esteban Rossi-Hansberg<\/a> turned out to be very popular. We have also moved the plenary sessions to midday which ensures attendance is good and audience members are wide awake. One downside to the program planning this year was the smaller number of slots meant that <a href=\"https:\/\/ideas.repec.org\/f\/pba291.html\">Yan<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/ideas.repec.org\/f\/psh383.html\">Yongs<\/a>, and the program committee faced the daunting task of rejecting really good papers and limiting the number of topics that we could accommodate.\u00a0\u00a0My hope is that next year we will be back to normal size.<\/h4>\n<h4>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/david-alegre.com\/repo-sed\/sedam_2023\/\">Next year&#8217;s summer conference<\/a> will be hosted by <a href=\"https:\/\/economia.uniandes.edu.co\/en\">Universidad de los Andes<\/a>, June 29 to July 1. The local chair is <a href=\"https:\/\/ideas.repec.org\/e\/ppr162.html\">David Perez-Reyna<\/a>, who has been tirelessly working on this since the pandemic delayed all of our events. Program chairs <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bhandarianmol.com\/\">Anmol Bhandari<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/ideas.repec.org\/f\/pre260.html\">Paulina Restrepo-Echavarria<\/a> have been busy with the next call for papers and lining up plenary speakers. For those following us on social media, you already may know that next year&#8217;s speakers are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.markaguiar.com\/\">Mark Aguiar<\/a> (Princeton), <a href=\"https:\/\/faculty.wcas.northwestern.edu\/mdo738\/\">Matthias Doepke<\/a> (LSE), and <a href=\"https:\/\/economics.ucsd.edu\/faculty-and-research\/faculty-profiles\/v-ramey.html\">Valerie Ramey<\/a> (UC San Diego).
