Looking Forward: Our Increasingly Digital World
In our fifth annual conference, the Sadie Collective turns her eyes to the future. What does a future which centers the collective look like? How will the growth of technology intersect with economics and inevitably impact our future economists, policy makers , and communities ? How can we best prepare for a rapidly changing future, and carve a seat at the table and in some cases, create our own?
