We've organized 18 regular sessions, 3 student sessions and 2 panels. Thanks to Chris Dumas (UNCW) and Elaine Frey (CSU-LB) for serving on the organization "committee".
The panel that always draws the most attendance is the tips for students and young economists:
Panel: Tips for Students and Young Economists: Dissertations, Jobs, Publishing, and Success
Sunday, November 19, 2017 | 10:00 - 11:45 am
Organizers: Elaine F. Frey, California State University, Long BeachModerator: Elaine F. Frey, California State University, Long Beach
Tips for Completing the Dissertation: Craig E. Landry, University of Georgia
Tips for Success in the Field: John C. Whitehead, Appalachian State University
Tips for Teaching: Lynne Lewis, Bates College
Tips for Publishing your Work: Jill L. Caviglia-Harris, Salisbury University
Tips for the Job Market: Elaine F. Frey, California State University, Long Beach
We do this one every few years or so. Here is my post from 2014: "And, But, Therefore (SEA meeting mini-debrief)". Note that I'll be heavily borrowing from Glenn Blomquist's 2014 presentation this year.
The other panel also looks interesting:
Teaching Environmental Economics and Policy in a Politically Fractured World

Moderator: Lynne Lewis, Bates College
Panelists:
Sonja Kolstoe, Salisbury University

James F. Casey, Washington & Lee University
Sarah L. Stafford, College of William and Mary

I think the idea is what do you say in class when the only policy idea is Washington, DC is deregulation sans benefit-cost analysis (and climate change is a hoax)?
