Attendee Feedback

AEP is one of the few conferences that focus on topics relevant to academic event professionals.
AEP is an excellent experience and a great opportunity to meet colleagues who face the same challenges every day!
I will be taking more ideas home with me than any of the conferences I've attended in the past two years.
I was a first-time attendee and felt the conference had a huge amount of validity and impact for this targeted group.
The one time I never feel alone! I love being with these people.
​
​I love that I actually get to interact with other specifically in my field. We are all on the same page!
