Econs Expo 2027. Economics,out loud.
Why Econs Expo
Economics gets interesting the moment you have to use it. For one day, students from schools across Singapore take the ideas behind finance, business and politics out of the textbook and into the room.
It is run entirely by students at SJI International, and it is built for anyone curious about how the world makes decisions, whether or not you take economics as a subject.
The events
Three ways to use economics in one day.
Planned for 2027. Details may still change. Photos are from Econs Expo 2026.
