How to Register for EARN Events

Registration for EARN events is handled directly on earn.us, where the site currently displays a "Registration is now open!" notice. To register, start at earn.us, locate that registration notice or link, and follow it to the sign-up form. EARN does not publish a separate events portal in the available site content, so the homepage notice is the entry point to watch.

What EARN Is

EARN (Economic Analysis and Research Network) is a nationwide network of research, policy, and advocacy organizations working state by state on economic policy issues. Its stated goal is "an economy that works for everyone."

Because EARN is a network rather than a single organization, events may be hosted by EARN centrally or by member organizations in individual states. That affects where you register, so confirm which entity is hosting before you fill out a form.

Step-by-Step Registration

1. Go to earn.us. The registration notice appears on the site itself, not through a third-party ticketing page in the available content.
2. Find the "Registration is now open!" notice. It appears as a distinct element on the page. Click through from there.
3. Complete the sign-up form. The site content does not specify which fields the form collects, so treat the form itself as the source of truth for what is required.
4. Confirm you are registering for the right event. If the link leads to a specific event, check the host, date, and topic before submitting.
5. Watch for confirmation. The available content does not describe a confirmation process, so if you do not receive one, return to the site and check for updated instructions.

What to Check Before Registering

The available page content does not mention fees, membership requirements, or login restrictions for registration. Do not assume registration is free or open to everyone without confirming on the form itself.

Using EARN Resources to Prepare

EARN's "Key Resources for 2025/2026" section centers on a brief series titled Holding the Line: State solutions to the U.S. worker rights crisis. The series covers how states should respond to the current worker rights crisis, remedy gaps in weak or outdated labor and employment laws, and advance new protections. Reading these briefs gives useful background if an event touches on worker rights, wages, or state policy.

Recent publications on the site show the kind of work network members produce, including pieces from Kids Forward (Wisconsin), the Oregon Center for Public Policy, and the Maryland Center for Economic Policy. Topics span affordability, state economic forecasting, and housing policy. These are a reasonable proxy for what EARN-affiliated events discuss.

Common Snags

• The notice changes. "Registration is now open" is a live status, not a permanent page. If it disappears, the event may have closed or filled.
• You land on a member organization's page. Some events are run by state-level groups. Register with the host named on the event page, not a different EARN affiliate.
• No pricing information is shown. Check the form or contact the host rather than assuming.
• You want topic- or state-specific resources instead of an event. EARN organizes material by topic (paid sick days, minimum wage, overtime, paid leave, wage theft, preemption, racial justice, education, jobs) and by state through its member organizations.

Bottom Line

Register by going to earn.us and following the "Registration is now open!" notice. Confirm the host, format, and any requirements on the form itself, since the available site content does not specify fees or eligibility. If you want context first, read the Holding the Line briefs under Key Resources for 2025/2026.
