We are pleased to invite you to attend the 2nd Australian Economic Forum (AEF10) to be held in Sydney on 5-6 August 2010. AEF10 offers a unique opportunity for you to be involved with the Forum that will lead Australia’s discussions on economic strategy across key policy sectors. 

Under the auspices of the Economic Society of Australia (NSW Branch), the Forum provides a distinguished platform 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 technology and telecommunications, energy and the environment. 

AEF10 will be held at Dockside Sydney on Darling Harbour. The overall theme of this year is Innovating for a Stronger Economy. Program highlights include keynote addresses and concurrent sessions on: 

• New Technologies and Our Economy

We are very pleased to announce that world renowned economist Professor Joseph Stiglitz will be part of our conference program in 2010. Professor Stiglitz is an acclaimed international economist and recipient of the Nobel Prize in economics. He is touring Australia, as part of a national speaking program hosted by the Economic Society of Australia. He will be speaking both in the forum program and the AEF dinner, which is co-hosted by the Economic Society of Australia (NSW Branch) and CEDA.

The inaugural AEF in 2009 was an overwhelming success and we encourage you to register early to secure your place in 2010.
