About the Conference
The Georgia Tech School of Economics, in conjunction with the Strategic Energy Institute and Energy Policy & Innovation Center, will host the Southeastern Workshop on Energy & Environmental Economics & Policy (SWEEEP) from Oct. 8-9, 2026.
The goal of SWEEEP is to bring together energy and environmental economists and policy researchers from all over the Southeast to present their research, exchange ideas, and build community. The workshop focuses on economics and policy issues lying at the intersection of energy and the environment, and includes topics as varied as the clean energy transition, housing and the built environment, transportation (air and auto), carbon markets, health impacts of energy systems, measuring consumer and firm behavioral responses to energy policy, and more.
2026 will mark the fifth SWEEEP workshop hosted by the School of Economics. The workshop was first held in 2019 (then titled the Southeastern Energy & Environmental Economics Workshop or SEEEW). The workshop was suspended in 2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic.
Attendees are responsible for booking their own travel/lodging. Several hotels in Midtown Atlanta are conveniently located near Georgia Tech, including the Renaissance Hotel Midtown, the AC Hotel Midtown, and the Courtyard by Marriott Atlanta Midtown.
