New to the Conference?

No need to worry about being new—your experience has been thoughtfully designed to help you grow, connect, and thrive from the very start!

You’ll find special events created just for new attendees and new members, giving you plenty of chances to meet others, exchange ideas, and feel right at home.

Be sure to visit The Hive—a dedicated space just for our “New-bees.” This lounge-like area is hosted by friendly AAOE volunteers who are ready to answer your questions about the conference, AAOE, and how to make the most of your time here.

We want your first AAOE Annual Conference to be as fun, inspiring, and rewarding as possible!
