aep 2024: Call For speakers
We are excited to announce that in its 17th year, the Academic Event Professional Conference (AEP) will take place February 11 - 13 at the AT&T Conference Center on the University of Texas at Austin campus. Tuesday’s concluding sessions will be held in partnership with The Special Event Conference taking place at the Austin Convention Center February 12 - 15.

In that spirit, we call upon nominations for speakers from you, your institutional colleagues, or from professional circles that have exhibited leadership and standards of excellence in one or more of the following areas:
