The Idea Gallery

Conference attendees are encouraged to participate in the 2020 AEP Idea Gallery. The Idea Gallery has been created as a way for attendees to share ideas and inspire one another. We encourage you to submit your institution’s best event concept and be showcased during the conference.
 
Signature Showcase
Submit a digital presentation highlighting one of your institution’s outstanding events.  These digital presentations will run at the conference to inspire all attendees.

• Please submit five to eight PowerPoint slides that tell a complete story about an event.

Suggested ideas include:

• A unique event that is out of the box and might inspire someone looking at your photos.
• An event that most colleges or universities do annually that has a new or innovative twist to it.
• A multi-year event that tells a story across the years but ties back to a central theme.
• A unique program format to deliver the messaging or goal of the event
• Please send to ideagallery@aep-edu.com prior to the conference (due March 4, 2020).

​One Signature Showcase participant will be chosen at random to receive 50% off his or her registration for AEP 2021!
 
The Tabletop “Grab and Go” display
Don’t have enough time to pull together a full signature showcase PowerPoint?  The ‘Grab and Go’ gallery is perfect for you! Look over your past event materials and grab something that would inspire other event coordinators.

Please click here to let us know you are going to participate so we have enough room on our tables! (We do not need to know exactly what you are bringing, just that you will be participating.

Suggested ideas include:

• Print Materials – save the dates, invitations, menus, printed programs, etc.
• Décor – Food & Beverage presentations, entertainment, centerpieces, furnishings, tabletop design, stage elements, signage, etc.
  
• Giveaways – gifts, favors, promotional items, etc.
• Event Paperwork – briefing templates, timelines, setups, etc. 
• When you arrive at the conference stop by the registration table to hand off your ‘grab and go’ materials so that we can display them for you! Don’t forget to include 20 business cards so your colleagues can contact you about your creative idea!

 
We look forward to seeing what you bring! Remember, the more you put into the conference, the more you will get out of it!
