It took place October 16–17, 2026.

It was held at David Rubenstein Forum in Chicago, Illinois.

Empirical microeconomics researchers attend, including those working in public, labor, behavioral, health, and industrial organization economics.

Practitioners outside academia and researchers in unrelated fields would have got less from it, as the program centred on research presentations and methodological innovation in data collection and measurement, with Janet Currie of Yale as keynote.

Academic economics conferences usually see smart casual dress, such as slacks or jeans with a blouse, sweater or blazer, and comfortable layers suit a Chicago autumn.
