The Market Design in the Age of AI Conference aims to catalyze interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation at the intersection of algorithm design, economics, machine learning, and operations research. As market platforms become increasingly complex and data-driven, this conference brings together leading thinkers from both academia and industry to explore how AI is reshaping the design, analysis, and regulation of modern markets.
Our goal is to foster a vibrant community that bridges research and practice—advancing both the theory and real-world application of intelligent, efficient, and equitable market systems. Over time, we envision the conference serving as a launch pad for novel marketplaces and platform innovations that emerge from these collaborations.
