Annual Conferences

AFEA SESSIONS 

AFEA organises sessions at the Eastern Economics Association (EEA) and the Western Economics Association International (WEAI) conferences. 

AFEA Annual Conference 

AFEA will hold annual conferences in Africa, starting 2021. These annual conferences are hosted by partner institutions of higher learning in Africa. 

Hosting the AFEA Annual Conference

AFEA’s annual conferences are crucial for nurturing our organization and our mission. Below is some general information about hosting AFEA Annual Conference in Africa:

  • It is AFEA’s main venue for promoting research dissemination, networking and collaboration among members and potential members. 
  • It typically brings together approximately individuals from around the world who participate in plenary and concurrent paper sessions, workshops, and business meetings. 
  • It usually takes place over three days, typically in late June or July. 
  • It is most often held at university campuses or institutes during periods when the campus is under-utilized.
  • AFEA policy is to rotate the site of the annual conference among locations in Africa. 
  • Site selection is made 2 years in advance.
