CEA/ACE Meetings CWEC/CFEC participates in the meetings of the Canadian Economics Association (CEA), held in early June of each year. We typically sponsor a number of sessions and host a lunch with a keynote speaker. The list below provides a summary of CWEC/CWEN’s lunchoen speakers at CEA/ACE meetings in recent years. Starting in 2025, CWEC/CFEC hosts an informal reception on EMBRACE day. Mentoring events (started in 2016, joint with the CEDC since 2023) are also a CWEC/CFEC staple at the CEA/ACE meetings. The CWEC/CWEN luncheon has been a feature of the meetings for over two decades, and has become one of the conference highlights. With a cap of 30 attendees in 1995, we had a record 140 people attend in 2016, and have had amazing speakers.
