AEC Students

Early Bird Registration extended through April 30th!

Student Excellence Reception & Career Fair

All registered students are invited to a Student Excellence Reception & Career Fair on Tuesday, August 4, 5:30 - 7:00 pm for light appetizers, student awards, networking opportunities, and a career fair. We will also be providing free professional headshots at the event.

Students will have the opportunity to interact with one another, leaders in the profession, and employers who are hiring. Whether you're actively job hunting or simply curious about what's out there, this is a great chance to grow your professional network and learn more about opportunities in the field.

Recommended dress for the event is business casual.

Career Connection Lounge

Network with fellow students and potential future employers at the self-service Career Connections Lounge. Employers with job openings can post opportunities, and attendees can connect and arrange meet-ups during the conference. The lounge will remain open throughout the AEC.

Posters

Interested in showcasing your work at the AEC? Students are invited to participate in our Poster Hall and share their projects with a diverse audience of peers and professionals. Selected students may participate in person and virtually.

  • In Person Poster Hall: Display and present your poster in the Poster Hall, during the Exhibition Grand Opening on Monday evening, August 3rd, and during regular Exhibition hours on Tuesday, August 4th. Engage directly with attendees in person, discuss your findings, answer questions, and build meaningful professional connections.
  • Virtual Poster Hall: Display your poster to all conference participants in the Virtual Poster Hall, via the conference platform/app. Your poster will be displayed during the full week of the conference. There is no presentation component for virtual posters. This is intended for presenters unable to travel to the AEC and as a complement to those presenting in person.
