AUBER Fall Conference 2026 took place October 17–20, 2026.
It was held at Courtyard by Marriott Boston Downtown, 275 Tremont Street, Boston, MA.
Students, faculty, and practitioners in business, economics, data, and public policy were invited. The organizer describes the conference as a venue for students and junior researchers to present and receive mentorship.
Students and junior researchers were offered an especially approachable venue, as the organizer describes it as friendly for presenting and mentorship, and the Esri-led spatial analysis workshop suited analysts who work with GIS. Executives looking for large-scale vendor exposure or a big buyer pool would have gotten less from it, because this was the 79th meeting of a research association hosted by the UMass Amherst Donahue Institute rather than a commercial show.
Academic and applied economics conferences usually call for business casual, with blazers for presenters and jeans or sneakers uncommon but not unheard of. Boston in mid-October can be cool and damp, so a light coat or layers were sensible for walking between sessions and the evening reception.
