Keynote Speaker: Kartik Athreya, Senior Economist, Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond.

Notification of decisions will be made by March 1 at the latest, and final program details will be available by March 31. Late submissions may be considered depending on space availability.

Location: Jon M. Huntsman School of Business, Utah State University, Logan, Utah. Visitors enjoy world-class scenery just minutes from campus. Easy access to hiking, biking, fishing, camping, boating, and other sight-seeing opportunities in the mountains. Logan is truly an outdoor paradise for those who are enthusiastic about the mountains, providing everything from gentle nature trails along rivers and lakes to extreme challenges on some of the steepest slopes in the Rockies.

Registration: No registration fees are required.

Suggested Travel/Hotel Accommodations: Fly into Salt Lake International Airport. To get from Salt Lake to Logan (approximately 80 miles), either rent a car or book a reservation in advance with the Cache Valley Limo Service (phone: 435-563-6400). While a number of hotels are available in Logan, the University Inn (https://www.usu.edu/univinn/index.cfm) provides the most convenient location for workshop participants.
