We are delighted to announce that Dan Friedman (UC Santa Cruz) and Matthew Rabin (UC Berkeley) have agreed to be the plenary speakers:

• Dan Friedman "How Theory Can Inform Experiments (and vice versa)"
• Matthew Rabin "How Experiments Can Inform Theory (and vice versa)"

Registration for the conference can be done via the ESA website (recall you have to be an ESA member):
