What is a TIG and what do they do?
AEA has 35 Topical Interest Groups, or TIGs. One of the major activities of each TIG is to review conference proposals and sponsor conference sessions. Under each session in the program you will see the sponsoring group. Checking the TIG sponsor will give you an idea as to the topical bent of the overall session. Each TIG also holds a business meeting during the conference, and attending one is a great way to connect with others who share your interests and to learn of the TIGs plans for the coming year. Many TIG members can be identified by ribbons attached to their nametags stating TIG affiliations. Pick up ribbons showing your topical interests when you check in at the registration desk and look for others throughout the conference who share your interests.
