2021 AAEA & WAEA Joint Annual Meeting

AAEA is planning for a hybrid 2021 AAEA & WAEA Joint Annual Meeting in Austin, Texas at the JW Marriott. This will not look like a normal AAEA Annual Meeting. So let us start by laying out some key differences.

1. There will likely be fewer and/or limited attendance social events at the meeting (for example, seated reunions and receptions).  
2. We will adhere to safety policies onsite such as wearing masks and social distancing, even if these are more stringent than the requirements of the city hosting our event.
3. All attendees will sign a waiver that they understand the risk of attending an in-person meeting and will not hold the association responsible, should they contract a communicable disease including but not limited to COVID-19.

The virtual part of our program includes live streaming of the Plenary Sessions, Awards & Fellows Recognition Ceremony, and two sessions during each concurrent session time. There will also be some additional virtual sessions offered by Sections.

Below are some links on Health & Safety in Austin and at Austin JW Marriott.
