FLAME Econvention

the rush of being in the centre of the rise and fall of money. The Econvention has now moved out of that small room, and has become a collaborated effort of the FLAME Economics Club and the Department of Economics. The two-day fest on 10th and 11th December, 2016 will see students participating in events, workshops, guest lectures, and even a panel discussion. The events will require the participants to have a rudimentary theoretical base in economics, which they will draw upon to provide models to apply in real world situations. Of course, the nature of this fest is such that it will allow participants to use their academic knowledge to experience the economics of everyday life and even world events in real, practicable ways. Events will necessitate the quick thinking and expertise needed to solve both kinds of dilemmas, therefore posing a unique challenge to participants: staying grounded in logic while letting the imagination soar. The panel discussion and workshops will see reputed persons from the industry and respected academics sharing a podium and discussing their views on the topic at hand. The objective is to bring in dignitaries from diverse fields of experience within economics to ensure that the practical as well as theoretical aspects are covered in detail, so that participants can take away not only the excitement of simulated economic situations, but also new opinions and ideas that can add to their knowledge of the subject they love.
