Education Programming Committee

The Education Committee is responsible for working with the professional staff of IAEE in an advisory role to assist in the planning and evaluation of IAEE’s core education programming. Core education programming is defined as sessions that will be offered at Expo! Expo! IAEE’s Annual Meeting & Exhibition.

Ideally, the Education Committee comprises approximately 16-18 members, which consists of a balance between show organizers and suppliers representing an international geographic body. Members will have experience in one or more of the following areas: associations, for profits, education and speaker management, and/or event marketing. The CEM Commission Chair will serve on the committee as well.
