Sponsoring the EALE/SOLE conference
The Third
International Conference of the Society of Labor Economists (SOLE) and the
European Association of Labor Economists (EALE) takes place in London on
June 17-19, 2010. This event will surely be one of the most well attended
economics conferences of the year, and the best attended labor economics
conference of the next five years. It provides a unique opportunity for
advertising the services and products of your organization to a very large
set of economists doing teaching, research, and providing policy advice to
governments in the developed and developing world.
What is
the SOLE/EALE International Conference?
SOLE and
EALE are the two most important organizations of labor economists in the
world, based in the United States and Europe respectively. Even though each
institution organizes its own annual conference, every five years they
organize a joint international conference.
This year
the conference is hosted by University College London (UCL), which holds one
of the world's top economics' departments. The current presidents of SOLE
and EALE are both faculty members at UCL. All this, combined with the fact
that the conference takes place in a city such as attractive and accessible
as London, means that attendance at this event will be extremely high.
Who will
attend?
The fact
that we received 1250 papers for this conference confirmed that this joint
conference belongs to the top conferences of this year, with more than 400
papers accepted mainly from teachers and researchers coming from the US and
Europe (we expect more more than 500 participants). Moreover, labor
economics has become such a broad field that we will feature economists from
a diverse range of areas: labor, health, education, public finance,
experimental economics, behavioral economics, migration, development,
macroeconomics, trade, and econometrics. Most if not all of these fields are
in very high demand by both students, and governments increasingly seek the
best experts in these fields for policy advice.
Why
should you be an exhibitor or a sponsor at this event?
If you
market to our target audience then the publishers’ exhibition at the
conference will be a perfect place to unveil new publications and products.
In order to generate the attention that publishers/exhibitors deserve and
maximize opportunities for interaction with conference participants the
stands are planned in a main traffic area at UCL. They will be located in a
premium position, namely in the cloisters, close to the poster
presentations, the registration desk and refreshment service points.

This year we
are also able to offer sponsorships of special events, which are usually the
most memorable events of the conference, and congregate the largest
audiences. They include plenary sessions, invited sessions, the main
conference lunch, and the main conference dinner. These will allow the
sponsoring organization to project a highly visible image of its activities
onto conference participants at the central moments of the conference.
Please view
the exhibitors' pack and
the
sponsorships' pack for more information. They will help you decide what
level of support is right for you, and explain how to contact us.
