AEME Forums Dates and Themes
Hosted by Our AEME Members
The Association for Events Management Education (AEME) has hosted an annual forum as a key feature of the association since its inception. Each forum is hosted by one of our members who bid for the opportunity to host and develop a unique theme each time to ensure that the forum reflects the issues and priorities of the events management subject community.
We are grateful to our members for hosting, and celebrate the development of our subject.
