The university has strongly encouraged the cancellation or postponement of large events scheduled on campus at least through April 15. In accordance with this policy and after consultation with officials from Stanford Environmental Health and Safety, the SIEPR Economic Summit scheduled for March 13, 2020 has been cancelled.
Cancelled: 2020 SIEPR Economic Summit
The impact of 5G. A bank alleviating poverty. Financial literacy for a new generation. National security heightened and trade limited.
This year’s SIEPR Economic Summit will examine the economic impacts of these issues, among others, and expose how they’re playing out in government agencies and businesses. Join us on Friday, March 13, 2020, for panels and keynotes featuring top scholars, business leaders and prominent policymakers.
