Join AEP 2022 as a Sponsor!
What is AEP?
The Academic Event Professional (AEP) conference is designed to meet the professional development needs of special event planners from the academic community. AEP provides a forum for sharing best practices and exchanging ideas where both seasoned planners and newcomers alike can learn from their academic peers.
In October 2022, we will be hosting AEP in Boston, MA. The conference, now in its 15th year, takes place Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, October 16-18, 2022 at our host school Boston University.
For a basic outline of the AEP program, please see the Conference Agenda
What AEP can offer you?
AEP offers a high-level, targeted marketing opportunity for suppliers to academia. Our conference is planned by academic event professionals for academic event professionals, all of whom are looking for quality service and product from vendors who understand the needs of professionals in an academic environment.
AEP provides a target audience of 200+ purchasers with influence and decision-making power from leading academic institutions across the U.S. and abroad. AEP attendees come from a wide range of institutions, both in size and type, and represent an equally large number of offices, from the Provost and President down to individual department event services.

AEP offers a number of sponsorship levels, benefits and naming opportunities described in detail below.
