Looking Forward: Our Increasingly Digital World The Sadie Collective is back and better than ever! 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? Do not miss this unique in-person experience!
