The Idea Gallery
Conference attendees are encouraged to participate in the 2023 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. Have an opportunity to share up to a 3-minute presentation live.
The Tabletop Display
Don’t have enough time to pull together a full signature showcase PowerPoint? The Tabletop Gallery is perfect for you! Look over your past event materials and grab something that would inspire other event coordinators.
Digital Event Media - Doing more digital invites? We can share those on the screen. Email us digital invitation or flyers in a pdf form by March 15, 2023.
When you arrive at the conference stop by the registration table to hand off your table top 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!
