I participated in this last year, and it was wonderful. Like all in-person conferences/retreats, a ton of the value comes from meeting and hanging out with people doing work that’s relevant to your own, so this would be especially valuable if you’re not already plugged into the EA economics or research community. I would highly recommend it for anyone doing or strongly considering an econ PhD.

Thanks James, really glad to hear you feel you got a lot out of it (including after a few months’ reflection)!
