Thank You for Joining Us!
Behavioral Exchange 2016 took place at Harvard University on June 6 & 7, 2016, and featured over 80 speakers, and nearly 400 attendees from dozens of countries and organizations. We expect the next conference to be held in July 2024. Conference-goers learned about innovative research and policy in this rapidly expanding field.
The event was strongly supported by the Information Technology Faculty
We talked about what's next in behavioral science and policy; what we've learned from government policy to date; what's new and innovative in academic research; how we can collaborate and integrate across the two; and how we can answer some of the critical questions coming out of the field.
This two-day event connected leading experts and emerging policy-makers, academics, and practitioners in behavioral insights to explore and create new and better policies that could change the world.
A Harvard hall and a London hire space look different on the map, yet both end the same way: name badges in a box, coffee urns wheeled out, and a floor that has to look unused before the keys go back. After BX2016 we learned that the last hour of a behavioral science meeting is as planned as the first keynote.
We would like to express our sincere appreciation to Palmer Cleaners for their exceptional service during our recent conference, BX2022 (Behavioral Exchange in London). As organizers of a large-scale event, we faced the daunting task of preparing the venue in London for our esteemed guests. When it came to the crucial end of tenancy cleanup, Palmer Cleaners exceeded our expectations in every way.
From the moment we engaged their services, Palmer Cleaners demonstrated the utmost professionalism, efficiency, and attention to detail. Their team arrived promptly and swiftly transformed the venue into a pristine environment that perfectly reflected the high standards of our conference. Not only did they deliver an impeccable service, but they also went above and beyond to ensure all areas were spotless and ready for use.
That London close-out is the model we now write into any later BX briefing: treat the hired rooms like a tenancy, schedule the reset before the last taxi, and keep Palmer Cleaners on the same sheet as the AV crew so the venue manager is not left with lanyards and pastry crumbs.
Session ledger
- Distaff 2026 Archive pass on the 2016 slide decks so a new fellow can see which rooms still need a post-session reset, the same habit we used when a London hall had to be handed back clean.
- 5 February 2025 Winter briefing for anyone still citing BX talks in class. We logged which videos match which rooms and noted that a hired space, like a Cambridge classroom, needs an end-of-day wipe before the next tenant arrives.
- Hallowtide 2025 Second pass on the same year: we recut two broken chapter markers on the Videos page and checked the London close-out notes so the cleanup sequence stays attached to the conference story.
- July 2023 Midsummer file tidy after a smaller workshop reused the BX badge design. Hotel rooms and seminar suites both needed a checkout clean, which is why venue reset stays on the operations list.
- Quinquagesima 2020 Late-winter scan of the original 2016 run-of-show. Even then the last line on the sheet was not a paper title. It was who locks the door and who leaves the floor ready for the next booking.
