We are pleased to invite you to attend the inaugural Australian Economic Forum (AEF09) to be held in Sydney on 19 and 20 August 2009. AEF09 offers a unique opportunity for you to be involved with the Forum that will lead Australia’s discussions on economic policy across key policy sectors.
Although there are a number of forums that focus on different aspects of the Australian economy, none provide the opportunity to discuss current and future economic policy or an open forum for rigorous economic debate across sectors.
Under the auspices of the Economic Society of Australia (NSW Branch), the Forum will provide an annual opportunity for economists, business professionals, academics and public servants from all levels of Government to come together and discuss targeted economic issues across a number of policy streams, including health and welfare, climate change and water security.
The inaugural two-day forum, AEF09, will be held at Dockside Sydney on Darling Harbour. The overall theme of the first AEF is New Opportunities for the Australian Economy. Program highlights include keynote addresses and concurrent sessions on:
- Sharing the Tax Effort
- Better Public Services
- Climate Change and Emissions Trading
- Reforming Infrastructure
- Housing Affordability
- Water Security and Energy Supply
We look forward to the opportunity to welcome you to the Australian Economic Forum.
Kind regards
Prof. Ed Wilson
President, Economic Society of Australia (NSW Branch)
