AEP 2010
The Fourth Academic Event Professional Conference, AEP 2010, will take place alongside The Special Event Show in New Orleans on Monday January 11, 2010. The New Orleans Marriott at the Convention Center will host the conference.
AEP 2010 addresses the need for event education and networking within our market sector by providing a cost-effective forum with leading campus planners and event industry speakers to run immediately prior to TSE. AEP continues to grow year on year following outstanding success in LA, Atlanta and San Diego.
The program commences on Sunday January 10 with a welcome reception at the host hotel, the New Orleans Marriott at the Convention Center from 6pm – 7:30pm. A full day educational program will take place on Monday January 11 at the host hotel.
The total cost for the full program, excluding hotel accommodation, is only $225. ($150 if you are attending TSE with an Educational Package – see Special Event Show page for details)
AEP 2010 will also feature a Collateral Exhibition. This is an opportunity for attendees to bring examples of creative, budget conscious or innovative event materials and collaterals they have used/developed to share with their peers.
AEP 2010 will take place on the first day of The Special Event Show, before the educational sessions begin, and there will be a ‘lessons learned/outcomes’ session on Wednesday January 13 at TSE as an inclusive part of the program.

Background
The inaugural AEP conference took place at USC in Los Angeles in 2007, AEP 2008 took place at Georgia State University in Atlanta and AEP 2009 was held at the University of California, San Diego. All three events were highly successful and have provided over 300 campus planners from more than 60 colleges and universities an incredible educational and networking opportunity at minimal cost to their institution.

Comments from attendees included:
“Wonderful! The networking alone is worth the registration
fee”
“Great job! This is a hidden jewel – I’m
glad I found it!”
“I love that this event exists – it works so well
paired with TSE”
“Each year gets better!”
“I love this conference! See you in New Orleans!”
The day was complimented by the innovative AEP luncheon where a ‘white paper’ was collated, the results of which were later distributed via email. Attendees were invited to join topic specific tables covering the subjects of the day, each of which was facilitated by an AEP faculty member with a pre-set list of questions. Answers and solutions were collated by a student Ambassador and collated into a white paper.
AEP has become a must attend conference for any campus event planner, providing an environment where ideas can truly prosper. The AEP committee look forward to welcoming you to the conference in New Orleans in 2010!
