Vancouver has hosted three other History of Economics Society conferences; this will be the first in the City's downtown core, close to Stanley Park, Canada Place.

The Vancouver International Airport (YVR, CYVR) is located on Sea Island in Richmond, British Columbia, 16 km (7.5 miles) from the conference hotel by car; 38 minutes via SkyTrain's Canada Line to Waterfront Station (plus a 12 minute walk to our conference hotel).

We are very happy to announce our plenary speakers: (i) Tim Brook, perhaps best known for Vermeer's Hat (2008) but speaking to us on his more recent work on how cartographic interactions between China and Europe enriched economic thought; and (ii) a panel on the history of economic freedom indices, featuring Michael Walker (founder, Fraser Institute), Robert Lawson (Economic Freedom of the World Report), and Simeon Djankov (LSE). Ross Emmett will give the presidential address.

YOUNG SCHOLARS

The HES provides support for several Warren J. and Sylvia J. Samuels Young Scholars to present papers at the conference, in the form of free registration, banquet and reception tickets, three nights lodging at the conference hotel, and a year's membership in the society. A Young Scholar must be a current PhD candidate, or have been awarded a PhD in 2020 or later. Those interested in having their paper considered for the Young Scholars program will be able to indicate their interest when they submit their paper proposal through the conference website, and will be contacted subsequently with more details about the program.
