AAEA Centennial Celebration Tabletop Displays
As part of AAEA’s Centennial Celebration, we are offering an opportunity for organizations and universities to showcase their history and to celebrate their collaboration with AAEA by creating a tabletop display. All displays share the suggested theme, "100 Years of Agricultural & Applied Economics". Display opportunities are open to any and all groups interested in participating, but space is limited.

Each tabletop display registration includes:
- One 6' skirted table
- Your display located in a high traffic area, easily accessible to meeting attendees
- Your organization listed in the Joint Annual Meeting program as a Centennial Meeting Patron
Centennial Issue of AJAE to be Published; Papers to be Presented in Denver
In 2010, the second issue of AJAE will feature special commissioned papers focused on the theme of AAEA’s centennial. In addition to being included in the journal, these papers will be presented in Denver as well.
This issue of AJAE, to be published in February, will feature a variety of papers that will highlight contributions of AAEA members to the profession over the past 100 years. Some of the papers featured in this issue have each been paired with an AAEA Section, which will include the paper as part of a special Track Session at the 2010 Joint Annual Meeting. Each section will cover the material from AJAE in one of their Track Sessions, and the presentations will be made in a variety of formats. Be sure to check out the special issue of AJAE in February, and keep an eye out for the corresponding Track Sessions in Denver.

AAEA is working on even more special events celebrating its centennial. So, check back here for updates on what we have planned.
