Join Us for #AERA23!

An item from the folks at the American Educational Research Association concerning their upcoming conference.

Welcome to the opening of registration for the 2023 AERA Annual Meeting! Each year, the American Educational Research Association Annual Meeting is the world’s largest gathering of education researchers and a showcase for groundbreaking, innovative studies in an array of areas. The conference will be dual-component, with the place-based component to be held in Chicago, April 13–16, and the virtual component to be held on an online platform on May 4–5. Regardless of how registrants attend, the 2023 Annual Meeting will be a can’t-miss event for intellectual engagement, reconnecting with colleagues and building new professional networks with other attendees. The meeting program will be released on January 20. Registration is required to attend the place-based or virtual components of the AERA Annual Meeting. Register now and join thousands of scholars from education research and aligned fields and disciplines at the 2023 meeting and select from more than 2,000 substantive sessions featuring high-quality and timely education research. AERA offers different registration rates for place-based and virtual-only attendees. Those registering for the place-based meeting in Chicago can take advantage of an early bird discount through March 10. Attendees for the place-based meeting in Chicago will automatically be registered for and able to access and attend the virtual meeting and other virtual components of the place-based meeting at no extra charge. Those registered only for the virtual meeting will have access to the two-day virtual meeting on May 4-5 and also be able to view a selected number of place-based Chicago sessions via web-streaming, including the opening plenary, the Presidential address, major lectures, and a number of Presidential sessions and AERA-wide special sessions. Virtual meeting attendees will also have access to the recordings of these select sessions, as well as recordings of all virtual sessions in the online platform’s video library. For the 2023 Annual Meeting, the registration process, which is fully integrated with the membership join/renew process, will take place entirely through My AERA, the entry point for AERA’s association management system on the AERA website.

AERA Members Receive Deep Discount on Registration Fee To qualify for the AERA registration member rate, your membership must be current through 2023. This means, that if your membership expired on December 31, 2022, you must renew your membership for 2023 at the beginning of the registration process to qualify for the member rate. Note: Adjustments and/or refunds for registration fees will not be given to individuals who register at the non-member rate and later join AERA. Proof of Vaccination and Masking All attendees must have UP-TO-DATE VACCINATION and at least one booster to attend in person. Mask wearing is strongly encouraged, but not required, in common areas. We expect attendees will be unmasked while eating or drinking. Mutual respect and health and safety remain priority goals. AERA will use SafeAccess as the vendor responsible for confirming the vaccination status of registrants. Shortly after completion of your registration, you will receive a personalized email invitation from SafeAccess to verify your vaccination status. AERA encourages those attending the Chicago meeting with U.S. and non-U.S. vaccination cards to do so in advance. SafeAccess will also have staff on-site in Chicago to review vaccination documentation in accord with AERA vaccination policy that is required to obtain a badge and gain access to the Annual Meeting. Housing for Place-Based Attendees in Chicago At the completion of the registration process, the confirmation e-mail message will include a link to the AERA Housing Bureau for registrants to make hotel reservations. 2023 Annual Meeting Website AERA has launched the 2023 Annual Meeting website in tandem with the opening of registration. The site provides presenters and other participants with important information on registration and housing, upcoming key dates, the AERA annual meeting policy on welcoming and inclusive conduct, the COVID vaccination policy, program highlights, and more.
